Caught bass under docks and around lay downs pitching a BFE tilapia color. Also caught them wacky/necko rigging green pumpkin/watermelon.

Wind was blowing 5-10 mph. I was fishing weed beds in 5-10 ft of stained colored water.

Targeted the scattered clumps of milfoil and coontail with sunfish beds scattered among them. Slowly, extra slowly, dragging and pausing a soft plastic jerkbait across the beds and through the weed clumps produced numerous fish, adding a few gentle twitches on slack line proved effective in coaxing bites out of some of the bigger fish. The sunfish will absolutely blast your bait the whole time it is down there, just maintain the extra slow drag and pause with some subtle shakes here and there.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Popping)SeasonSummerStructureDocks
Throwing poppers and plastics are always a good bet to catch them at prior lake. I only fish prior on cooler cloudier days when there is not so much recreational activity. Plenty of docks to fish
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueGrass JigsSeasonFallStructureDocks
Big jigs under docks you come across when bank cranking steep banks.
- SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueDeep Diving Crankbaits (13'+)SeasonFallStructureSubmerged Vegetation
Steep wind blown banks with rocky shoreline. Also a jig and chatterbait in the same conditions worked in 52-54 degree water

Deepest good weeds you can still find and really slow working the bait just in the weeds and just on the edge.
