It was a long day on the water with little success; started off with top water baits a sexy dog Jr and a frog in matted grass. That didn't work didn't get a bite so I switched up to cranking. No success so slowed it down and picked up a senko weightless and picked up a few small guys next to Lilly pads.

Bass were caught early on the War Eagle 1/4 oz skirtless buzzbait with a Zoom Horny toad trailer. Also on a hybrid hunter in clear perch and the Keitech fat swim impact. I shallow water they were caught in less than 2ft on a Yum Dinger 5 inch stick bait in Mardi Gras

Had a good morning and caught a lot of Bass! Most came on the drop shot on inside grass lines in 10-15’ of water. I caught couple on a wacky rig, one on a whopper plopper, and one even bigger one on a glide bait. Everything was relating to the grass.

Fishing the Googan Squad Buzzbait on the surface and changing the speed of your retrieval is huge this time of year! Bass will hit a Buzzbait all the way down to 40 degree water temp, I caught this fish casting over thick weeds where I could see bait fish swimming around.

The bass wanted that black bait. I would go around hitting the docks and they were hungry. The bass are transitioning into the fall feeding pattern

The bass are starting their fall feeding. I was able to find some schools of bass in moderately deep water. You have to let the spoon flutter all the way to the bottom with a semi slack line. once on the bottom, give the line two quick jerks and let it flutter back down.
