We are now in our fall to winter transition! The nights are now getting colder and colder, which coincides to the water temperature. Bass are slowly moving to their haunts. They will stage off of offshore structure and main lake points. Bass have been biting off of slow moving baits, dropshot, ned-rigs, and big swimbaits. Slowing down and downsizing or upsizing your adits will increase your offs.

We have plants 8,000lbs. of Rainbow Trout in the past month! These trout have been biting just about everything from powerboat to lure. Trolling is still considered the best way to catch trout. If going for trophy bass, consider using big trout style swimsuits.
