Hello!

[Bass Yakker]

Hang in there JimH.  Are you fishing from the bank or a boat?  I'm just a newbie but the only fish I've caught from Lake
Springfield have been from the bank or one of the islands below the dam.  You might try there.

I've had great luck this fall super early in the morning throwing a whopper plopper and blue herring colored war eagle spinnerbaits around the grass on the main lake.  Never throw the spinnerbait without a trailer hook out there though.  They short strike it a lot and you'll hook up much more.  We've caught several 16-22 inch largemouths.  I've never caught a smallmouth out there either which is kind of weird, but I've spent a lot of time out there this year.  It takes a lot of patience and multiple casts to cover.  If you're on the main lake and there's a stickup all by itself, throw casts from different angles to it.  If you're about to move on, throw in there again.  You'll be surprised at what might happen doing that.  There are still some big bass in there, but they get hammered.
