Had a blast throwing moving baits most of the morning. Chatterwagon with a razor shad was the deal in the thick stuff. Found a nice point of weeds and got on them with a jerkin plug and had a ball. Cleaned up with the cover scat on a ringed hook. Fish were fat and chewing good in the wind. Green weeds were key.

Using my Omnia C-Map to find hard bottom areas, I targeted specifically those areas that had a ledge. Then I would cast around and quickly determine if the weeds were still healthy in the area, and when so there would always be active, aggressive 2-3 lb bass and pike. Most of the time the boat would be in about 10-12 ft and I would cast up into 4-7ft.

Cast outside of the reeds just off of a ledge as the sun is setting and the (eater-size) walleyes love the underspin. Caught some baby largies too. For the trophy walleyes, I recommend the jackhammer chatterbait around the same structure.

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.

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!
