Largemouth BassTechniqueBuzzbaitsSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationOct. 20th, 2023. Calm and sunny. We didn't get a lot of bites but a few bass for each of us on a 4 hour outing. The best one, 4 lb, bit my son's black buzz bait in 3 ft of water over coontail. I caught a 16.5" bass walking a frog in the same type of area.

I fished Mink Lake that is accessible via a channel from Somers. There is an island on Mink. The west shore of that island has always produced bass for me. Either a chatterbait or a spinner bait has been golden. Somers and Mink are both fun to fish.
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationHad some REALLY quality bass early morning especially. Things got a little slower around noon after it rained but we still caught em. Fish were further off the bank in 4-5' of water. Fished multiple techniques throughout the day and kept coming back to the chatterbait. It was by far the most productive. I'd recommend stocking up on chatterbaits though as there are some very large pike in this lake as well. 😉

Somers and Mink Lake have low water clarity, especially this year, 2021. A chatterbair creates vibration. Add a craw trailer and the bass went wild on a shoreline off the west coast of the island on Mink Lake. Over an hour of consistent strikes. Tons of FUN!

MONSTER BASS caught on a frog in the lilly pads. Some real nice bass in Mink Lake.

Bass are in their mid-summer holding areas. This is the time I like to focus on deep rock piles with crankbaits and a heavy hair jig. Make sure to make moderate contact with the structure when working the bait past.
