Incredible holiday weekend for catching big bass. Saturday morning i fished for a few hours and caught 7 fish over 18 inches as well as two back to back 20 inch fish. Seems like the bass are starting to beef up for the winter and are actively feeding. I stuck to throwing a black buzzbait with a twin turbo black and blue trailer and they were crushing it! It was an extremely productive way to cover water and target big fish! I stuck to throwing the edges of shallow reef beds and finding isolated patches of Lilly pads produced every time. Drop the lure about 1-3 ft into Lilly cluster and work the buzz bait right off the pads and it was almost guaranteed bite!

Started out the day throwing a swim jig around the pencil reeds and ended up catching a few nice bass. The submerged vegetation in the pencil reeds made it tough to get good paths for the swim jig without fouling up the lure. I got to a stretch where it was a little more open and had some good Lilly pads. Broke out the top water buzzbait in black and they were crushing it up shallow! Tons of blow ups and several big fish! I would try to cast to the first row of Lilly pads and drag it right off and they hit within the first 5 feet of retrieval. Overall a really fun topwater day!
