Largemouth BassTechniqueCarolina RigsSeasonFallStructureOpen Water/BasinThis past weekend’s tournament drew over 17 boats to a small lake. Heavy pressure had most anglers beating the banks, which kept many of the larger fish pulled off and made for challenging conditions. Adding to the difficulty, recent rains caused a 5–8° water temperature drop and set up some less-than-favorable parameters for bass activity. The most consistent bite came from working the bottom patiently. Carolina rigs and drop shots targeting bass on flats and points produced reliable results. A few fish were picked up by slow winding crankbaits across those same points. A handful of suspended bass could be tempted with minnow-style baits, providing another option. Overall, success came to those who slowed down and kept presentations near the bottom. The conditions demanded patience and precision, with subtle adjustments separating limits from tough days.

Most fish were hanging off the bank in the 8-12ft range and pinned to the bottom during the late afternoon and into the evening. A scrounger near the bottom produced bites, and a Carolina rig probably would have worked well too. They wanted something slower than a crank bait. As the sun fell and the shad started moving up, so did the bass. A free loader rigged hover style targeted those bass.
