Largemouth BassTechniqueSpinnerbaitsSeasonFallStructureLaydownsThis is a great bait to throw for both largemouth and smallmouth. The largemouth seem to be tight to the wood structure right now. As usual, the smallmouth are hanging out in the rocks. They are both chasing this bait and hitting it with some force. Find the baitfish, throw this near the structure and HANG ON.

I love the Bassman spinnerbaits and also have gotten to like the Fitzgerald micro jigs very well. Zoom speed craw paired with the micro jigs is a killer combo!!

Fished a club tournament with weather being 45-57 degrees water temp ranged from 53.6 to 55.7 degrees. wind was light to gusting to 10 mph with water clarity around 2 to 5 feet. Caught several short fish early on a 1/2 oz SK Structure jig in green pumpkin with a Rage chunk trailer between 2 to 6 ft. Later in the day caught a few shorts on a roboworm ned worm on a 1/4 oz woo tungsten ned head. Broke off 2 nice Smallmouth on a Damiki Vault hopping off the bottom in 15 feet off of a rocky secondary point. always check your line when working around rocks. Unfortunately, could not bring in any keepers but we still had a few nice smallmouth and largemouth weighed in.

I fished isolated brush piles on main lake 45⁰ rock banks. It's an easy pattern to run anywhere on the lake this time of year.
