I fished a club tournament down there last weekend and it was TOUGH again.
Water temp - 69-72 (depending on clarity).
We found a majority of our bass came off of either a texas rigged trick worm or a shakey head with a trick worm. This technique worked a couple weeks before during another tournament when we had the super blood moon so I figured not much would change. First thing in the morning we would hit a main lake channel swing point where it transitioned from bluff wall to shallow water ie. a cut, pocket, or cove. Throughout the morning we mainly followed the shad but as soon as they left the bite was gone. In the afternoon we fished inside the coves and searched for large concentrations of bait fish and primarily fished the same lure as before or switched to a grub and hopped it across the bottom. As far as the depths we caught them?...Well that too wasn't completely nailed down as we were catching them from anywhere between a few feet of water to 20+ feet. My partner and I worked over any bank we fished. We sometimes fished it 3-4 times making sure whatever was down there had an equal opportunity to take a ride in a bass cat. This worked to our benefit as we ended up hooking three decent 3+ lb bass. That is all the info from last weekend and it appears that this weekend is going to be similar.
