Mid November brings a fall transition & the bass are starting to bite a bit. Smallmouth have been spotty and not quite firing at the tailrace, but should be soon. Water temps are still in low to mid 60s. The most consistent bite seemed to be related to emergent and submergent Hydrilla beds with current. Frogs, punching, buzz toads, lipless crankbaits, jerkbaits, keitech swimbaits and topwaters all produced fish, but the dominant lure this past week was a 1/2oz Double Willow spinnerbait in shad patterns. Bassman & War Eagle screaming eagles were two of the pest. 2-5' of water was best. Bait is starting to move to the backs of pockets and creeks, but the bass are still scattered.

Fished for 6 hours today and managed 7 keeper LMB. Best 5 went about 12lbs. Not too bad of a day. All came cranking a 3XD in shizzle pattern. Most came off laydowns and stumps and one came off a grass line edge. Water is at least 5-6ft below pool.
