Striped BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Large)SeasonFallStructureOpen Water/BasinI caught this almost 9 lb. hybrid striped bass (wiper) fishing off the end of the dock by the boat ramp. I made a cast to open water, let it sink for a few seconds, and then started to reel it SLOWLY. A few seconds later…BOOM….it inhaled it!! It was an awesome fight and my first hybrid Striped Bass (wiper). Praise the Lord for the awesome catch!!

Got pretty choppy so we threw crankbaits off the rocks on the wind beaten bank and caught quite a few. Nothing real big but hooked into alot of fish.

Pitching jigs to edges of laydowns where the water dropped off. Most of the jig bites cane in 5-8ft of water after a few pops off the bottem.

Zak SteigerwaldBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueStructure JigsSeasonSummerStructureRock PileWater temps ranged from 72-79 depending on where I was on the lake. Air temp was 85, fished from noon-4pm. Fish were relating to rockpiles in 5-10 ft of water. Wind was out of the SW, 8-12 mph. Caught all bass on a VMC Tokyo rig with 5/0 worm hook, and 2 Swagger tungsten 1/4oz weights. I like using the 2 weights on the Tokyo rig so when you drag it & it hits something, the 2 weights clack together & makes a good sound. Setup I used was a Daiwa CC80 casting reel with 15lb Sunline Assassin on a 7'2" MH Shimano Intenza rod.

Was able to find some bass holding in submerged timber offshore. First time using the Yamatanuki and I was impressed. It was getting fish to bite when other techniques were not.
