George:

We are in the fall transtion period here just like my last report indicates. The bite gets tougher anywhere when you get into this phase of fish movement between summer and fall patterns. The shad are moving a lot right now and thus so are the bass. Here are some tournament results from last weekend:

Angler's Dream Classic: 94 boats 2 days Winning weight was 30 lbs over the 2 days (5 fish limit per day)

The Bass Federation State Championship: Not sure on number of boats...2 days Winning weight 25 lbs over the two days (5 fish limit per day)

Basically during the fall transition, you can catch numbers but numbers of keeper plus fish are harder to come by. Now, just like my last report said...you can catch them on a lot of different patterns from the main lake ledges to the backs of the creeks and bays. Now having said that, the fish are eventually headed into the creeks and bays....there are some there already and more are coming....and I am already there waiting on them....lol. You know the pattern...I taught it to you a long time ago....hope to see you and the wife on the water this weekend.
