Smallmouth BassTechniqueVertical Jigging Mid Depth (10-19')SeasonSummerStructureRock PileTossed 1/4 oz tungsten jig and berkley max scent worm. Smallmouth seemd to hit the moving bait pretty well on either drop or rip when fish were active.

Largemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonSummerStructureRock PileWe were finding our fish on shallower and mid depth rocky points. The points could be secondary or main lake but had to have deep water close by. The fish seem to be setting up shallower than in years past in that 8 to 15 ft. We caught a load of fish just throwing the chatterbait if they were suspended and the worm if they were in the bottom. Bite seems to hold good around most of the lake some points have them and some don’t. Points with wind were a touch better but wasn’t much of a breeze last night.

Omnia FishingBronze AmbassadorSpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueNeko RigsSeasonSummerStructureBrush PilesDeep brush has been producing the bigger bites of late. Small window in the early morning with a topwater. Moving out to the deep brush piles with a Neko Rig works. I've been staying off the top of the piles and casting to them. Being vertical on them has been tougher lately, maybe due to fishing pressure.

Fishing brush piles in 15-30 feet of water depending on the depth of the drop off in the area you are in. Fish smaller shakey heads (4-5 inches) and if consistently getting bit, try a larger one. Mainly soaking the worm with a few shakes in between sits.

Went out for a fun fishing day after the cold front had hit and the fish were doing a lot of different things here is how my day went. Started hour throwing Topwater with just a couple shorts then moved to the Motion Fishing Gill Candy football jig to fish some points. Fish were not schooled up but there were bites to be had. Checked the brushpiles and it’s still not that great but caught a few in a Texas rigged senko. Made a little run to some dirtier water and found the fish eating a square bill and a Motion Fishing Swim Jig. Look like the lake was alive seen tons of bait and prolly caught 10ish keeper fish. This cold front is usually the start of the fall transition, I figure to see a lot of fish doing a lot of different things here in the next week or two so pay attention to may page for more reports 🎣

Still heavily fishing brush piles. Fish as many as you can from 18-30 feet deep. Bites are few and far between right now as the fall transition looms near. Drag a football jig or something similar along the bottom and soak it right next to the pile.

Has a good quick outing on the lake the other day. Lots of fish trying to eat Topwater both largemouth and smallmouth. I think this bite is just starting and should do nothing but get better in the coming weeks. Spook and a buzzbait did the heavy lifting. Caught fish all the way from the main lake to the back of the creeks so just cover some water and you will get in an area where you get mutiple bites .
