Oct. 20th, 2023. Calm and sunny. We didn't get a lot of bites but a few bass for each of us on a 4 hour outing. The best one, 4 lb, bit my son's black buzz bait in 3 ft of water over coontail. I caught a 16.5" bass walking a frog in the same type of area.

I fished Mink Lake that is accessible via a channel from Somers. There is an island on Mink. The west shore of that island has always produced bass for me. Either a chatterbait or a spinner bait has been golden. Somers and Mink are both fun to fish.

Somers and Mink Lake have low water clarity, especially this year, 2021. A chatterbair creates vibration. Add a craw trailer and the bass went wild on a shoreline off the west coast of the island on Mink Lake. Over an hour of consistent strikes. Tons of FUN!

Bass are in their mid-summer holding areas. This is the time I like to focus on deep rock piles with crankbaits and a heavy hair jig. Make sure to make moderate contact with the structure when working the bait past.

Docks
Skipping jigs under docks and around shoreline structure has been producing very nice fish and throwing frogs in matted grass and Lilly pads has also been a good producer. Some fish have started to move out deeper onto the rock piles but there is still lots of fish up shallow.
