Largemouth BassTechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationPlaced second in a tournament here on West Lake with 17.11lbs and a big bass of 6.13. Caught our fish all on frogs up in a foot or 2 of water. Key was finding warmer water since a huge cold front blew in the night before.

Couldn’t catch them on anything but a buzzbait tonight. Caught a bunch of small ones on a neko rig too but the quality came on the buzzbait. Placed 4th in a little Wednesday nighter.

Fished a little nighter out on west lake. Seemed like it was easier to catch better quality fish on the frog than anything else. Also covered water well. Just find a protected pocket and throw that frog as deep in the stuff as you can.

Fished a flat calm day on the water most of the day today. 10-18 foot of water deep side of points with some type of cover was holding fishing. Got bait down to 10 feet and turned the handle as slow was possible to make it not rise.

Very tough tournament Saturday. Water temp went up 4 degrees over the week but day of the event it snowed in the morning and the wind blow 25 mph all day so it was tough. Fish were tight to cover in very shallow dirty water in the back of small pockets. Fishing a green pumpkin jig very slow.

Pretty simple fishing. Fishing standing timber that you could see with your eyes. Most of the bites were in 5-10ft of water. Most of the time you could see on livescope if there was a fish on the tree.

Weather was rough. Post front and a stiff east wind. Got a few to bite but was tough.
