Fish were moving into pockets off main channel swings. Caught most of the fish on secondary points inside the pockets and on the channel swing banks. The Rapala DT6 and OutKast Juice Jig did most of the heavy lifting. Also took advantage of schooling fish on walking baits in the afternoon.

You must be able to fish slow this time of the year when the bass are going deep. The bass are ready to be in the suspended stage so fishing slow and use your electronics to find them. Good luck to all.

The water level and water temps are falling and we are targeting largemouth bass that are chasing threadfin shad on shallow main lake flats and around creek mouths using a 1/2 ounce Strike King red eyed shad.

Catching both largemouth and smallmouth bass by targeting main lake rock bluff channel swing banks and points using a Rapala DT-10 crankbait in the 8 to 10ft range focusing on chunk rock transitions on the bluff and points. The DT-10 color that I chose today was caribbean shad due to the fact that the water color on the main lake had a slight stain to it due to recent rain events and the natural draw down of the lake.

Sunny, 79* Full Moon weekend. Winds light and variable. Caught some awesome smallmouth bass on bullshads and custom dreamsmasher shallow running crankbaits from E&H Lures in Watauga Tennessee.
