Water temps are in the low 50s and water level in lake is down. Fished PB&J Zman Hula Sticks on a 1/15 oz Nedlocks with very slow presentation. Water was slightly stained with about 10 feet of visibility. Fish were fairly deep, sitting in areas near ledges, that held some vegetation/grass. Fish presentation very slow, the bite is extremely subtle and mushy. You will need a very sensitive rod, such as the Dobyns Champion Extreme DX742SF, to feel those really subtle bites. I like to use a very long leader given the visibility, a good 12 to 15 feet of leader to my braid. Fish aren't as deep as the 40 ft depth mark, but look for them to continue to push out as temperatures drop. As we move into the winter bite, the bass will hover near ledges and south facing rocks that warm in the sun during the day.

Fishing early morning and late afternoon has produced better quality fish. Targeting deep structure and grass lines with a spinnerbait has been the ticket for larger fish. Drop shots and under spins also produce a lot of bites, just not the size. Fish can be caught at depths between 10 and 40 feet. Find the structure and grass edges for best success.

Fish are deep. 30 foot. Fish the ledges and we caught some good fish. Finesse drop shot techniques work best. Light flourocarbon line seems to get more bites.

Evening bite is hot! After the solar eclipse, the fish were closed lip. This evening was a different story. We caught at least 30 fish in 30+ feet of water using the NED. Fall in these desert lakes are better in the afternoon / evening. The fish were hitting it on the fall and on the bottom. I use a 1/10oz Ned head to keep it on top of the grass.

Fished the Kayak Fishing Utah State Championship on Oct 3rd 2020 and Oct 4th 2020. Drop Shot was the technique. Caught 5 LMB prefishing on Oct. 2nd, 3 LMB on tourney day 1 and 2 on tourney day 2. I had several fish jump off my board into the water, so my numbers surpassed my tournament results.

Didn't catch a ton, but it sounds like we did better than most. Low and slow is the key.

Bass were located in deeper water at around 40-45', and schooled up near humps. Bass were caught deadsticking, and very slowly dragging a hazedong shad about 12-16" above the weight. Bites were extremely light making a very sensitive rod a must.
