Largemouth BassTechniqueWacky RigsSeasonSummerStructureFlooded BrushThursday night tournament - Lake was around 615.8 and the outflow was around 8k! The water was dirty, even for Twain. Spinnerbaits were the key thrown around sugar shack button bushes. A 4 lber came off a bush fishing a wacky senko - Tight Lines!

More of the same from the previous day at the Joe Bass tourney. Secondary points were by far the most productive. The crankbait was still working with the added spinnerbait bite for 2 keepers. Wind was 5-10 mph

Hawg Hunters tournament on MTL. Ran approximately 35 miles around the mid to lower lake area hitting mostly secondary points. At least 10 dinks (short fish) came on a Wiggle Wart. Several others came on the 3XD including a 3 and a 4 pounder! Also caught were 4 walleye on the wart and several Striper on the 3xd!

Last Joe Bass tournament of the regular season. Rain set in early and stayed all day. Several shorts were caught (and missed) on a buzzbait early. Followed up by several bites on the ever popular 3xd. Water has been low and recent rainfall didn't seem to affect anything.

Once again, this lake changed overnight seemingly. Fish seemed to be pushing shad up shallow as the lake was 6ft above normal pool. Shad seemed to be schooled in flooded grass and bass were waiting to ambush from shelves and flooded brush piles. I caught several small fish but my lone keeper came on a GY 5" Senko. This lure flat out catches fish so stock up!

Yet another day for us on MTL. 2 catches total and both came on the infamous KVD 1.5. Weather wasn't bad and the lake was just above normal pool.

Fish have definitely moved out to the points. Slow and steady is gonna be the pace from here on out.
