Largemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationManaged to find some decent fish around the Iowa Great Lakes while practicing for the IKFC Championship. Fishing the grass between the stretches of removed docks consistently found fish. Unfortunately, this bite didn't hold up for tournament day.

Crank lay downs with red and/or natural baitfish colored flat sided crankbaits, also run the same crankbaits over existing weeds to get bit.

For some reason the lake was being very stingy to me on a hot early fall day. Decided to skip a wacky rig around some docks in Minney and plunked off a couple good bites including a 5 1/2. Wacky rig is a good way to get some bites and not just small ones too.

Won a little youth derby out on Okoboji this weekend. Fish were pretty keyed in on bluegill so it was a little tricky getting them to bite. Caught some nice ones on the squarebill running it outside the docks. Really focused on the individual docks rather than the giant marinas. Had like 15 fish over 3 and a half pounds this weekend.
