    Tips: lipless crankbaits reeling fast barely touching the tops of submerged weeds. i was reeling almost as fast as i could reel with my revo 6.2:1 gear ratio. try throwing them on 7:1.

    Water Clarity: Clear (4+ foot visibility)

    Report: 5 bass to 4 lbs. Two on Spro "little john", 2 drop shotting, and 1 frog fish. Missed 4 more in the thick slop on frogs. Bass are feeding up on shad now. Today was the first day that true evidence of Fall is coming. Cooler temps at sunrise...no big deal...fish were definately chasing baitfish, especially along rocky structure.
    City: Antioch

    Tips: Crankbaits get the nod at sunrise. Try either lipless or shallow to medium runners. No senko takers today.

    Report: 1 bite, 1 fish for 2 hrs fishing. Bass went 9 lbs 3 ozs. Thanks to "slim" for use of digital scale. Fish hammered my frog. Won't disclose location, but don't limit yourself to just throwin' to mats. Hey Kyle...come by and leave me your cell # and I will send you that photo of your monster fish.
    City: Antioch

    Tips: Walk your frog in open water...this is definately an untapped technique. Must say that I have fished every frog on the market and Bobby Barrack has the best frog out there for walkin'. It's truly "perfect".

    Report: Fished for 3 hours today from pontoon. 2 bass both just under 4 lbs. on wackey rigged senko. Also 2 catfish about 5 lbs. each on same rig. Missed a very large bass on lunker punker in trout pattern. Fish boiled on it and then tossed it. Also have had a lot more luck at sunrise lately fly fishing the rocky banks. I have been catching trout to 4 lbs. on ant patterns and Bass to 3+ on shad streamers and grass hopper patterns.

    Tips: Fish the offshore weedlines. Fish seem to be cruising the outer edges on the deep water side. All activity was in water 5' or deeper.
