Blade bait on my new Ark, only want 2 or 3 vibrations of the blade so a short pull on rod. If you feel something funny then drop after next pull will be a fish. got fourteen 2-4lbers but lost a real good one. 25-45' on points but flats with something different hold fish too. Long casts best.

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.

Throwing a jerk bait down transition banks that go from the river channel to a shallow, pea gravel flat or point is one of the best techniques to catch a lot of bass. The best part is you can catch largemouth and smallmouth as well here with this pattern.

Getting as far up the river as you possibly can this time of year can pay off in a big way. There are bass up the river that can be caught while the majority of the other anglers are targeting the big schools out deep. Throwing a shallow crank bait or sometimes a topwater are the best techniques to use.

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.
