The lake is at 354.60

Water Temp is in the 65


With the cold fronts that passed thru last week. The water temperatures have dropped by ten degrees. This has pushed a lot of the bait fish into deeper water and grass. The two patterns that I’m fishing are grass related.



One is fishing a Bass Pro Shops Kermy frog in black or a black and chartreuse color. I’m fishing this bait on 40lb test Seaguar Kanzen braid, with a Lews 7.1 reel and flipping stick. Most of the bass I’m catching are in 1 to 2 foot of water. I’m basically fishing grass and listening for the bait to make a smacking noise in the grass, or movement under the mat. Whenever you here the bait smacking under the mat you better get your frog rod out and go frogging. I don’t think this pattern will last much longer, probably another cold front will push this bait out and the bass will follow. But I’m still catching a few and it’s a fun way to catch them.



Another pattern is fishing grass in 3 to 5 foot depths. I’m fishing on top of the grass with a Rat L Trap in Bag5 Blue glimmer and the NEW Silver Bone pattern. We have been working on this new Sliver Bone color and it’s perfect! I’m fishing it on a 7ft Lews glass rod with 14lb Seaguar AbrazX a 7.1 Lews reel. I am fishing the trap fairly fast, trying to tick the taller clumps.

I have also been catching them on a white Picasso spinnerbait and a shock blade. I’m fishing them on a 7ft Lews rod and reel with 20lb Seaguar Abrazx.

I am fishing the mid section of bays and depending on the day I will fish the outside edge and also up on the grass flat. I think the bass are just adjusting to the changes in fronts. I am also fishing main lake flats, if the wind hasn’t muddied them up. This has been the problem this time of year.

If I am fishing during a cold front I will flip a jig or a ZOOM, Z –craw in green pumpkin with a ¾ ounce Pro Tungsten weight on 20lb test Fluorocarbon and a flipping stick.
