Any Recent Pomme Reports

Partly curious since I haven't heard any lately. And because I got tired of seeing the "Federal Shutdown Information" topic on the side bar.

I've been out of town the last 10 days, hoping to see some reports and make it to the water by the end of the week. Heard things have slowed down a little - any more info??

I'm going down tomorrow after work and bass fishing until Sat night. I'll post when I get back.

From last weekend - bass report: Water temp 63 lake wide. Clarity - 2' pretty much lake wide.

Good shallow crank bite early and late. Plastics flipped to stumps getting some quality bites but it's hit and miss. Buzzbait bite early around wood cover. Bite really slowed late morning until late afternoon. Went deeper during that time and caught a few jig & shaky head fish. Best stuff was early/late in <10 fow. Thursday evening/night fished until about an hour after dark had 6 keepers in 2.5 hours, best 5 about 14lb. Friday fished morning until 11 with 5 keepers ~13lb; Friday evening 6 keepers and one lost best 5 ~14lb. No giants for me yet this Fall but solid 2.5-3lb fish were biting. Like I said, caught them a number of ways but my best bite was a med/shallow crank early and late on bluff ends or flats close to deep water.

AiA solo pro series was all over the darn lake. They weighed a couple big ones but it only took ~14lbs a day avg Sat/Sun to win. That, coupled with what I was seeing, tells me the best is still yet to come as the water temps fall. Typically once the water temp falls below 60 the shallow crank/spinnerbait/swimbait bite will catch fire for a few weeks with the big girls getting a lot easier to catch. I'm going back this weekend - chasing the dream!

Thanks for the details and report! Sounds like you zeroed in quite well!

Well I don't know if I'd go that far! I've been bass fishing Pomme for a lot of years so much of what I do at this point is stuff that has worked in the past until I find the patterns working best. Time on the water sure helps!

I left out of my report that all my fishing last weekend was from State Park Marina south (Lindley Arm).
