dam area to long creek today

[Bass Enforcer]

I finally made it to the lake.  My main focus was going to try the rock crawler just to see,  even though the water temp isn't really right just yet, i was also going to focus on the whopper plopper and the ned. I struck out on the Rock crawler. But did pretty decent on the ned, one almost 3lbs. With the ned i focused on main lake and secondary points until the wind picked up too much,  then i moved to protected areas. In terms of size they were better on the whopper plopper. I didn't catch as many on it but they were all decent ones and I caught them starting at 4 until 5pm when I finally made myself commit.  One decent spot and the rest were large mouths. (Nice to see)The biggest being about 3lbs.  Ledge rock banks 3 to 10 fow. When they hit it, it was a freight train hit.  I went with my 12 year old daughter who also caught a decent small mouth on a spinner bait. I'll be back out in the morning.  I'll be in a John deere green champion if you see me, stop and say hi. Good luck to everyone.

sounds like a great day . . . thanks for the great report . . . hard to beat the WP and Ned as a must have combo in the Fall . . . talk about two baits that are at opposite ends of the spectrum . . . the last couple of weeks I've been trying to figure out a third "must have" bait to go along with the WP and Ned . . . haven't been able to put my finger on it . . . have not used any other bait this Fall season that produces as consistently as the WP and Ned . . . any thoughts from anyone on a Fall bait that could be added to turn the "duo" into a "trio"?

I would never set sail in the fall without a good selection of War Eagle spinnerbaits.

The only thing i caught anything on today was a Bandit 200 chartreuse and root beer colored.

I would always have a jig tied on as a third go to bait. Nice report, hammer.

My third "to go bait" for the fall would have to be the wiggle wart or rock crawler.

My go to bait in the fall is a 3/8- 3/4oz fb jig regardless of conditions. If windy wart and war eagle screaming eagle blade.
