Largemouth BassTechniqueShallow Diving Crankbaits (0-6')SeasonWinterStructureFlooded BrushThe bass were on the chunk rock banks on the outside of the pocket around submerged brush. We were fishing parallel to the bank and casting to the bank and working out to 20’ off of the bank. The bass were pretty active and we were still cranking pretty quickly. The DT6 was the best performer followed by the Berkley Dime. Craw patterns were the best that we threw.

Water temp 55 degrees. Found fish around reefs and rock piles for dropshot. Towards the afternoon bass moved up into the brush and trees where shade colored square bill was key.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueTexas Rigs (Worming)SeasonFallStructurePointsWe were fishing steep rocky walls around submerged trees and brush. Casting close to the bank and dragging worms off of the ledge with Texas rigs and Tokyo rigs. I did better with Tokyo rigs. Slow fishing was key. We couldn’t get the bass to go on reaction baits. Worms and creature baits were key.

The bass were hanging in the tops of submerged trees and brush in the mouths of coves. The trees were in 20 plus feet of water, but the tops were around to feet underwater. The jerkbait was bringing them up. It was a 2 jerk, 1-2 second pause. I was spotting them with my Livescope and then fan casting the area.
