My buddy Ed Austin and I made the trip to camanche last week and put the smackdown on them!!
When we got to the lake we noticed the surface temperature was 54° and water clarity was about 8’. the lake had dropped which usually means tough fishing but I think the bass' instinct to come shallow is overwhelming this time of year so we started on flats adjacent to deep water.
Ed started with his homemade underspin that we call the Super Hornet and I started with a Bass Union A-rig.
Ed caught 3 and I caught 2 but after the sun came out and the wind died down the reaction bite really slowed down.
That's when I started throwing a Green Pumpkin Yamamoto Senko and Ed threw a Ned rig with the big TRD. We were fishing in less than 15’ of water and we ended up catching 12 fish in the 3 to 5 lb class.
I know the high school fishing teams have a tournament tomorrow and my best advice is to fish the day, if it’s cloudy and or windy try some reaction baits. If it is calm and sunny stick with your bottom baits.
I hope this helps.
Good luck fishing
