Docks
In the fall the largemouth bass can be found around docks and laydowns. Bass jigs like an Outkast Juice jig in 3/8 or 1/2oz with a Strike King rage craw go through the cover well and catch a lot of bass.

Docks
I fish this body of water on September 15, 2019 It was warm but in the morning the fish were feeding under docks and structure. The largemouth bass seemed like that the bass were in the fall transition. Once the sun came over the trees and hit the lake directly the fish seemed to go back into the shade under docks, pads, and lay downs with shade.

Baitfish
Finding the schools of Baitfish has been key. Finding them in 8-13 feet off shore in the evening. Using 1/8 VMC UV moon eye Jig and going between minnows or chunk of a nightcrawler. I'm using a 6' light power fast action St. Croix rod paired with a 2500 Diawa Tatula LT reel.

Points
Fish were held close to most points with weeds. Depth did not seem to matter as much, as long as weeds were present. Sun and wind helped. Any time the sun hid, the bite slowed way up. Water was dirty and the baits needed to work slow.

Crawfish
Ned Heads on grass edges create the most consistent summer bites out here in my experiences. Using sonar to locate hard spots along those edges is critical in locating schools of smallmouth (and largemouth as well).

Spinnerbait in 5-8 feet of water over the top of submerged vegetation was the ticket!
