Largemouth BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonFallStructureLily PadsI was able to find largemouth around dying lily pad stems throwing spinnerbaits. I stuck with white and natural colors with the water being clearer.

Smallmouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Pitch/Flip)SeasonFallStructureReedsI was flipping fast current banks as close up under the reeds as I could get. This tank (for this lake/river), and also my new PB at 19.5”, decided to hammer my creature hawg and nearly take the rod out of my hand. She hit right on the fall, textbook. Can’t ask for much more on a great fall day!

CatfishTechniqueLive Bait RigsSeasonFallStructurePointsI was using cut bluegill on points in the chutes. We had the most success on points near current seems with current close by. Tasted great too!

SturgeonTechniqueLive Bait RigsSeasonFallStructureRiver ChannelsI was fishing the deeper river channels that were close to flats with circle hooks and night crawlers. Super awesome fish for me as it’s an endangered pallid sturgeon for this part of the river. Could not be happier with this one!
