Smallmouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonWinterStructureOpen Water/BasinIt took short jerks and medium pauses to get bit. Even then the bites were on the pause and were undetectable, it wasn't untill you jerked again that you knew there was a fish.

Largemouth BassTechniqueNed RigsSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationThe fish were very active but would not bite a mving bait such as a spinnerbait , rattle trap or jerk bait. The ned produced oover thirty fish with seven over the 14 inch minimum length. That was in a 4hr period. Fish that were active were in the 6-8 ft depth range with lots f weeds.

The weather was overcast and calm winds. Fish activity was slow. The fish wanted a large presentation. putting on two flat worms did the trick. One green and the other black.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonFallStructureDocksWater was about 77° and very clear. Vegetation is heavily dying off all over the lake. Lots of pleasure craft moving around as well. Did not find a pattern until sunset. After sunset the smallies started hitting walking stick baits and whopper ploppers, but we didn't find any keepers. The ones in the photo were caught on a Maxscent General and a Ned earlier in the evening. Tournament weights were 6.5lb, 8.52lb, and 8.56lb.

Females are prowling for spawning locations and are rather unresponsive. Dropping baits on their heads got no reaction. Eventually found a pattern of quick jerks over darker spots of water with low visibility in the 10-15' depth range. Were able to get 5 keepers and several dinks. Jerkbaits were king, but pulled one on dropshot.

Many of the bass caught were from under docks. One nice Smallie was caught on the cull shad in 20ft of water under a raft. Two of us were fishing, one under docks the ther trowing out in deep water on the outside weed edge. All the dock fish were caught on the ned rig. One fish was gotten on a Lucky strike jerkbait another on a 3.8in Kiteck swimbait in blue glimmer. 32 fish were caught in 5hrs of fishing before the wind blew us off.
