Found fish scattered with many of them suspended. Swapped between a single swimbait, and the umbrella rig depending on depth and cover. The biggest fish came on the 2.8 in keitech rigged single on a 1/8th oz swimbait hook.

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.

We caught 13.7lbs by fishing the edge of grass lines with a topwater. The bass would typically miss the topwater and we would throw in there with a tube or fluke and we would catch the fish. Finding grass in the back of pockets that had some depth would usually produce a few fish for us.

Great search bait to throw over grass or around wood. If you aren’t getting bite try different receives or rig the bait different. Depending on how you rig a fluke you can make it dive or stay the the surface or anything in between.

Flip this bait anywhere you know there is a bass that won’t eat anything else.
