BASS- September is TRANSITION TIME here on the lake. In the early part of the month the fish will spend the majority of their time in deep water. As the month goes on and the water temps start to cool off, they will start making a move towards the backs of creeks following baitfish.
Early in the month, concentrate your efforts on brush piles, bridge pilings, deep docks and rock piles. My two baits of choice are a deep diving crankbait or a shakey head rigged trick worm. This is time for JUNK FISHING 101, do not spend too much time in any one area. If you catch a fish, give it just a few minutes to produce another one and then move on. The more water you cover, the better your odds in catching fish.
The second half of the month will be time to break out the search baits. Rat L Traps, Squarebill Crankbaits, Spinnerbaits and top water baits during periods of low light. My two favorite search baits are a Damiki MTB Noisy Buzz Bait and a Bill Lewis Rat L Trap.
CRAPPIE- The Specks will still be in deep water for most of the month. When the water temps reach the 70 degree mark, they will start to make a move back to the shallows. That is normally the last week of September to the first week of October.
Early this month look for them on bridge pilings and deep brush piles. The bast way to catch them is with a small minnow either rigged on a slip bobber or just on a jighead. Once they move shallow, I will put the minnows away and start searching uplake boat docks with a 1/16oz jighead and a 2″ Big Bite or Kalin Curly Tail Grub. Once you locate them, you can fill your limit pretty quick.
STRIPER- The striper will be chasing bait early of a morning from the power plant to the splits. You can catch t hem on Broken Back Red Fins, Paycheck Baits Repoman and Poppers when they are on top.
After the morning feed is over, locate the schools of fish with your electronics and drop a Toothache Spoon or a Damiki Vault down to them.
Trolling Bill Norman DD22’s or Cordell Deep Diving Redfins are another great way to catch them after the morning feed is over. Dress your Deep Redfin with a Basement Baits Bucktail and get ready to load the cooler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
