Water was colder than expected after these cool nights. Went out to flip a jig but quickly realized that wasn’t the deal. Ended up seeing a lot of fish that weren’t biting. Had to really soak the jig worm.

Got the kids out on Clearwater and had a ball throwing jigworms. Easy fishing for the kids to just toss out a jigworm and let it sit on deep coontail edges. Curly tails were good on a hot school and as they got moved around the stickbaits got better. I flipped a jig around as well and got bit, bigger fish definitely on the jigs and T-rigged baits vs jigworms.

Mid September on Clearwater, the grass looks great, bait is all over. And fish are doing lots of different things. The most consistent bite was flipping 3/4oz BassTEK Grass Jig with a Baby Dbomb trailer in 8-12ft. We also picked off quality fish on Frogs, Buzzbaits, Jigs and Stick worms over the grass flats, around matted grass, emergent vegetation and some docks. Keep on the move, the bass & pike are biting!

Find the steep transitions/banks. Wherever you can find deep weedlines next to steeper banks. Pull the neko rig down the steeps into the weed lines you'll find the bigguns.

Fish were up on the deeper sides of the reed islands chasing bluegills around. Was throwing the chatterbait parallel to the sides of the reed islands that were the deepest and would slow it down in high percentage spots.
