On Zumbra again, another slow day. Was able to get a few to commit on the Magdraft. Fishing 6-10 feet of water targeting pockets with less submerged grass. Also got a few bites on the chicken as well. Fishing the half ounce full white chicken popping it over the grass. Caught 2 up shallow on a buzzbait late in the evening as well. Not sure what stage the fish are in, most likely have fish in all 3 stages of the spawn.

Finesse Jigs

Reeds
Flip reed edges and any newer growth weed patches or lilypad patches. Use a 3/8 oz bullet tungsten weight with a 4/0 offset hook, and a black and blue craw trailer. Tokyo rig also works for these areas and helps keep lure off bottom. Keep your eye open for spawning beds.

Fishing off main lake points and weed edges in 10-12 feet of water is where most bass were caught using the drop shot method. Although a large quantity of bass were caught over quality, I still had a productive morning on the water.

Foot to two feet diving jerkbaits. Working them right around the submerged vegetation. Caught quite a few a doing it and some with good size. Cabbage was the main weed that was holding the fish and the greener the better

Pre-spawn/spawn 61°. Fished well with a white/chrome chatterbait around reeds and rock. A DT6 also came in handy as I went a little deeper near the same structure and got into some cabbage.

The jig worm and drop shot bite was going on the deep weed edge, just a basic 7" Power Worm on the jig worm and a Roboworm 6" straight tail worm on the drop shot. Key was locating the schools of sunfish, the bass were hanging just underneath them.

Ledges
Not a lot of luck running "typical" fall patterns. Even on a nice sunny day. Sat outside the the lily's and threw a drop shot with a 4" paddletail and slowly worked it back up the ledges. Ran into some nice ones in maybe 8'-12' ft. of water.

Lily Pads
Deep lily pad edges with offshore structure near dark kicked up the baitfish and made the jerkbait deadly. Quick 2-3 twitches with a 1-2 sec pause caused suspended fish to destroy the stunna. Fished it on a Dobyns DC 685 cb with 12lb mono.
