James Luck from Pennsylvania with a smallmouth bass caught while fishing with Capt. Dale Wilson

Fishing should improve the next few weeks. Temperatures will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s this month. Most species of fish will become more active as water temperatures cool.
The bait fish have moved to the creeks and the upper ends of both rivers. Night fishing will be good this month.

Largemouth bass
Fishing will be fair this month. Best lures will be drop shot rigs, crank baits, shaky heads, spoons, spinner baits, buzz baits, Ned rigs, Carolina rigs and plastic worms. Most largemouth bass will be caught on points, rock piles, brush piles and docks. Best depths will be from the surface to 20 feet. Bass will be caught in both deep and shallow waters. Points, rocks, stumps and brush are key factors to finding bass this month. Continue practicing catch and release.

Smallmouth bass
Fishing should improve this month. Best areas will be rocks, ledges, main channel points and sunken islands. Best lures will be Ned rigs, hair jigs, drop shot rigs, top water lures and Carolina rigs. Best areas will be in the mid- to the lower sections of the lake. Smallmouth bass will feed mainly on crawfish this month. Cloudy days are good times to try your luck. Light line will increase chances to catch smallmouth bass.

Striped bass Fishing will be fair. Stripers can be caught in the lower to mid-sections of the lake and in the larger creeks. Best lures will be swim baits, top water lures and Zoom flukes fished on 3/8- to 1/2-ounce lead heads. The best depths will be from near the surface to 60 feet. Jigging spoons is one of the best methods to catch stripers this month. Try to find areas with the largest concentrations of baitfish. Some schools of stripers will surface early morning and late afternoon. Live bait fished on planer boards and down lines are also good methods.

Crappie
Fishing for crappie will be good. They will be found at depths of 5 to 15 feet. Best areas will be in the main creeks around docks, fallen trees, stumps and brush piles in the mid- to upper parts of the lake. Small live minnows and 1½- to 2-inch tubes or shad-shaped plastic lures fished on 1/32- to 1/16-ounce lead heads will work best to catch them.
Tips of the month

Fishing can be tough this month. Warm water temperatures and clear water can make for slow fishing. Fishing during early morning, late afternoon and night are usually the best times. Try fishing at night. Make sure to wear a life jacket and never fish alone at night. Make sure running lights are on after dark. Remember to practice catch and release and take a kid fishing.

Sprague Wins Elimination Round 2 at General Tire World Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops

Texas Angler Catches Two-Day total of 120 Pounds, 6 Ounces to Win Elimination Round, Eight Anglers Now Set for Sudden Death Round

[print_link]

GRAND RAPIDS, Minn. (Nov. 2, 2020) – Major League Fishing (MLF) pro Jeff Sprague of Point, Texas, caught seven smallmouth bass totaling 15 pounds, 2 ounces, on Wabana Lake to win Elimination Round 2 at the General Tire World Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. Sprague’s two-day cumulative total of 74 bass weighing 120 pounds, 6 ounces advanced the Texas angler to the Sudden Death Round of competition in the six-day championship tournament, airing on Discovery, that showcases 16 of the best bass anglers from around the world competing for a top prize of $100,000.

Pro Cody Meyer of Star, Idaho, was the first angler to advance into the Sudden Death Round after his record-setting victory in the Shotgun Round. He is now joined by Sprague, along with pros Jacob Powroznik of Prince George, Virginia (58 bass, 118-0) and Edwin Evers of Talala, Oklahoma (71 bass, 113-11) as the four anglers advancing from Elimination Round 2. The Sudden Death Round episode will air this Saturday, Nov. 7.

“What a crazy day on the water,” said Sprague in the post-game news conference. “After our amazing first day of fishing on Pokegama I expected to go out and do just as well, but it was a grinder out there.

“On our morning ride-through I noticed that there wasn’t a lot of man-made structure, and there weren’t very many docks,” Sprague continued. “I did see a lot of lily pads, and grass – so my first instinct was to go to my largemouth roots. I love to power-fish, and that’s what I did for the first hour and a half. I only managed to get one or two smaller bites – no keepers – so I made the decision at the end of the first period to run back out to the main lake and start looking at the rocky shoals and points.

“After being out there a few minutes, I looked down and saw a smallmouth in about 8 feet. The lightbulb went off and I knew that I was going to have to buckle down and make some tactic changes.”

Sprague re-rigged multiple drop-shot setups, mentioning the Strike King Z-Too and the Strike King Half Shell as his two key baits on the day. He rigged them with a 3/8-ounce drop-shot weight and a 1/0 hook, and threw them on a Lew’s Pro-Ti Speed Stick spinning rod and reel.

“I only managed to catch one or two fish in the second period, but I lost three to four key fish and that gave me the confidence that I was doing the right thing,” Sprague continued. “In the third period, with an hour left, the lake slicked off for just a second and the sun came out. I happened to look down and I saw three or four black holes, and there was a bass still on the bed in one of those holes. Now the lightbulb went off again – these fish were still in transition. They’re just finishing up the spawn, but the majority were done and in the postspawn funk.

“Ultimately I was able to see a couple of them and it helped seal the win for me on the round. Now I’ll be able to carry that with me to the Sudden Death Round, especially if we go to another fishery that has a larger population of smallmouth versus largemouth.”

The four anglers advancing to the Sudden Death Round from Elimination Round 2 are:

1^st:          Cody Meyer of Star, Idaho, 68 bass, 123-12 *Shotgun Round 2 Winner*
2^nd:         Jeff Sprague of Point, Texas, 74 bass, 120-6 *Elimination Round Winner*
                3^rd:         Jacob Powroznik of Prince George, Va., 58 bass, 118-0
4^th:         Edwin Evers of Talala, Okla., 71 bass, 113-11

Eliminated from competition in the 2020 General Tire World Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops were:

5^th:         Jared Lintner of Arroyo Grande, Calif., 65 bass, 107-4
6^th:         Michael Neal of Dayton, Tenn., 62 bass, 102-10
7^th:         Jacob Wheeler of Harrison, Tenn., 54 bass, 96-12
8^th:         Mark Rose of Wynne, Ark., 55 bass, 89-9

Complete results and photos from the day can be found at MajorLeagueFishing.com.

Powroznik caught the Berkley Big Bass of the day – a 4-pound, 2-ounce smallmouth that came shallow on a soft plastic.

Overall, there were 103 bass weighing 189 pounds, 8 ounces caught by the seven pros on the day four Elimination Round of competition on Wabana Lake.

The eight anglers that now advance to the Sudden Death Round of the 2020 MLF General Tire World Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops are:

Casey Ashley of Donalds, S.C.
Edwin Evers of Talala, Okla.
Jordan Lee of Cullman, Ala.
Cody Meyer of Star, Idaho
Andy Montgomery of Blacksburg, S.C.
Takahiro Omori of Tokyo, Japan
Jacob Powroznik of Prince George, Va.
Jeff Sprague of Point, Texas

The 2020 Major League Fishing General Tire World Championship in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, is hosted by Visit Grand Rapids.

In MLF General Tire World Championship competition, the full field of 16 pro anglers was split into two groups of eight – Group 1 competed in Shotgun Round 1, Group 2 in Shotgun Round 2, with the winners of each day advancing directly to the Sudden Death Round. The remaining seven anglers from each group carried their total weight on to the Elimination Round. The three anglers from each group’s Elimination Round with the highest cumulative two-day weight now advance to the Sudden Death Round – eight anglers total.

During the Sudden Death round, the eight anglers that advanced from the Shotgun and Elimination Rounds compete to become one of the first six to reach a qualifying weight – determined by MLF officials. The top six anglers then advance to the final Championship Round – where weights are zeroed and the highest total weight at the end of competition wins and will be declared World Champion.

Next week’s episode of the General Tire World Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops will feature the final eight anglers competing in the Sudden Death Round on Turtle Lake in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.

The General Tire World Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops, hosted by Visit Grand Rapids, airs on the Discovery Channel as six, two-hour original episodes each Saturday morning running through Nov. 14, airing from 7 to 9 a.m. EDT.

Wagner Wins Toyota Series Event on Dale Hollow Lake

Cookeville Angler Wins by Five Ounces to Take Home $62,761

[print_link]

BYRDSTOWN, Tenn. (Nov. 1, 2020) – Toyota Series angler Adam Wagner of Cookeville, Tennessee, brought a five-bass limit to the scale Saturday weighing 16 pounds, 1 ounce to win the three-day Toyota Series at Dale Hollow Lake tournament in Byrdstown, Tennessee. Wagner’s three-day total of 12 bass weighing 34-6 earned him the win by 5 ounces over second-place angler Blake Smith of Byrdstown, and earned Wagner the top payout of $62,761, including the lucrative $35,000 FLW PHOENIX BONUS contingency award in the third and final regular-season tournament of the 2020 Toyota Series Central Division.

“I’m just blown away,” said Wagner, the 2009 Phoenix Bass Fishing League All-

American Champion who earned his 15^th career victory in FLW competition. “I got lucky. I just absolutely pulled up dead on top of that school of fish. If that’s not meant to be, I don’t know what to say – It just blows my mind.”

The school of fish Wagner referenced was the “motherlode” he found in the afternoon of day two. He said he didn’t have enough time to pluck a big bag from the school, but he knew he found something special to go back to on Saturday.

“I was pulling up to fish a grass spot [Friday] and I just went across this ditch and [my graph] just lit up,” he explained. “It’s two long, flat points going into a gut of a pocket. There was a school of shad in 49 foot of water, and apparently every largemouth that lives on those points was in that gut.”

Wagner said he’s not a “deep water guy,” but has the confidence to do something he knows isn’t his forte. He also credits local knowledge and having the right baits on the deck at the right times – namely, a 5/8-ounce Silver Buddy blade bait.

After finding his winning school on Friday, Wagner said he used the Silver Buddy to pluck a few largemouth from deep water to make the top-10 cut. He then went back to his school Saturday morning and caught a couple keepers before hitting a few other spots to give the school time to set up.

Wagner said when he returned, it was game on.

“The shad had ganged up a little better, like the bass had bunched them up a little more,” he explained. “As the day went on it got better. Saturday was fun.”

As much fun as Wagner had both catching the biggest bag of the tournament and holding up the resulting trophy and $62,761 check, he continued to go back to the providence of it all.

“I just can’t believe it,” he said. “That I found that school of fish – at noon Friday I didn’t have a fish. If I had gone over 10 or 15 yards, I would have never seen them.”

The top 10 pros on Dale Hollow Lake finished:

1^st: Adam Wagner of Cookeville, Tenn., 12 bass, 34-6, $62,761

2^nd: Blake Smith of Byrdstown, Tenn., 15 bass, 34-1, $10,176

3^rd: Dakota Ebare of Denham Springs, La., 12 bass, 29-1, $8,078

4^th: Jonathan Bowling of Harriman, Tenn., 11 bass, 26-13, $6,565

5^th: Chris Malone of Ironton, Ohio, 12 bass, 24-12, $5,909

6^th: Nick Ratliff of Vine Grove, Ky., 10 bass, 21-8, $5,252

7^th: Scott Stults of Jamestown, Tenn., seven bass, 19-8, $4,671

8^th: Drew Boggs of Lebanon, Tenn., 12 bass, 18-7, $3,939

9^th: Marshall Deakins of Dunlap, Tenn., eight bass, 18-0, $3,283

10^th: Billy Hall of Florence, Ky., five bass, 15-5, $2,626

A complete list of results can be found at FLWFishing.com.

Wagner took home an extra $35,000 as the highest finishing FLW PHOENIX BONUS member. Boaters are eligible to win up to an extra $35,000 per event in each Toyota Series tournament if all requirements are met. More information on the FLW PHOENIX BONUS contingency program can be found at PhoenixBassBoats.com.

Robert Russell of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, won the Co-angler Division Saturday with a three-day total of 11 bass weighing 22 pounds, 2 ounces. Russell took home the top prize package of a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower outboard motor.

The top 10 co-anglers on Dale Hollow Lake finished:

1^st: Robert Russell of Murfreesboro, Tenn., 11 bass, 22-2, $33,550 Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat w/115-hp outboard

2^nd: Josh Lockard of Somerset, Ky., seven bass, 15-1, $3,396

3^rd: Phil Williams, Jr. of Jamestown, Ky., five bass, 13-15, $2,716

4^th: Brent Clark of Bowling Green, Ky., five bass, 12-10, $2,377

5^th: Nathan Woodruff of Iuka, Miss., four bass, 11-12, $2,037

6^th: Gary Slaughter of Waddy, Ky., five bass, 10-0, $1,698

7^th: Luke Glasgow of Guin, Ala., five bass, 10-0, $1,358

8^th: Travis Parrott of Byrdstown, Tenn., three bass, 8-0, $1,188

9^th: Michael Weimann of Murfreesboro, Tenn., three bass, 6-13, $1,019

10^th: Randy Forbes of Pleasant Plain, Ohio, three bass, 6-4, $849

The Toyota Series at Dale Hollow Lake was hosted by the Byrdstown-Pickett County Chamber of Commerce. It was the third and final tournament in 2020 for Central Division anglers. The next two events for Toyota Series anglers will both take place on Nov. 5-7, with the Toyota Series at Lake Seminole in Bainbridge, Georgia and the Toyota Series at Table Rock Lake in Branson, Missouri. For a complete schedule, visit FLWFishing.com.

The 2020 Toyota Series consists of eight divisions – Central, Eastern, Northern, Plains, Southeastern, Southern, Southwestern and Western – each holding three regular-season events, along with the International division. Anglers who fish all three qualifiers in any of the eight divisions and finish in the top 25 will qualify for the no-entry-fee Toyota Series Championship for a shot at winning $235,000 cash, including a $35,000 FLW PHOENIX Bonus for qualified anglers. The winning co-angler at the championship earns a new Phoenix 518 Pro bass boat with a 115-horsepower outboard. The 2020 Toyota Series Championship will be held Dec. 3-5 on Lake Cumberland in Burnside, Kentucky, and is hosted by the Somerset Tourist & Convention Commission and the Burnside Tourism Commission.

Afternoon Change Leads Robertson To Win At Bassmaster Eastern Open On Cherokee

[print_link]

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Tenn. — When noon found him without a keeper, Matthew Robertson of Kuttawa, Ky., made a bold decision that propelled him to victory at the Basspro.com Bassmaster Eastern Open on Cherokee Lake with a three-day total of 40 pounds, 12 ounces.

Entering Championship Saturday with a mere 3-ounce lead over Denny Fiedler of Wabasha, Minn., Robertson added a five-bass limit of 12-4 to his first two days’ limits of 14-8 and 14-0. He won by a margin of 1-10 and earned a top prize of $35,000. Robertson also won the $500 Garmin Tournament Rewards prize.

He also earned an automatic berth into the 2021 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic, which is scheduled for March on Lake Ray Roberts in Texas.

“I’m usually out on the water saying, ‘Maybe I should go here, maybe I should go there,’ but the past two weeks, I’ve just had more faith in myself and I’ve just been rolling with it,” Robertson said. “I’m not second-guessing anything; I’m fishing more deliberately.”

Fresh off a second-place finish at the Basspro.com Bassmaster Central Open on Neely Henry Lake, Robertson had spent his first two days working a small stretch of boulder-laden bottom in 20 feet of water. Intercepting packs of smallmouth bass ravaging bait schools, he caught his fish on a Ned rig and a Neko rig.

With post-frontal conditions bringing bright skies and high pressure, Day 3 found the spot unproductive. Robertson said this prompted him to completely scrap his game plan and switch to something that was right in his wheelhouse.

“I told myself, ‘I’m going to stay there until noon and see what I have,’” he said. “All I caught was a striped bass, so I pulled the plug. I was so comfortable with that decision, it was no big deal.

“I pulled into a little pocket close to my deep spot and caught one on a topwater. I figured out what the pattern was and I went to war with it.”

Robertson said he found his best opportunities in pockets with docks, deeper cuts and flat points with scattered rock. Most of the bass he saw were hunting bait in small feeding groups known as “wolf packs.”

He caught his fish on a Strike King Sexy Dawg topwater in the sexy shad color. His co-angler, Jon Jezierski, gave him the bait, which had recently been given to him by Japanese pro Kenta Kimura.

“Kenta had modified the Sexy Dawg by replacing the stock hooks with (a Japanese brand of) round bend treble hooks,” Robertson said. “He also added SuspenDots (adhesive lead dots) to the belly of the bait to make it sit lower in the water.

“That made the bait more castable. Also, instead of those fish popping the bait out of the water, they’d pull it down.”

The win, Robertson said, was particularly meaningful, given his recent setbacks. While practicing for the Central Open on Sam Rayburn Reservoir (mid-September), his entire collection of fishing tackle and other gear was stolen from his truck.

“I’m pretty emotional right now,” he said. “I’ve been through the mud just to be here.”

Local stick Josh Roark of Bean Station, Tenn., finished second with 39-2. After placing 10th on Day 1 with 11-13, he added 15-2 — the tournament’s second-largest bag — on Day 2 and rose to third. He gained one spot Saturday with a final-round limit of 12-3.

“I did the same thing I’ve been doing all week; you just had to slow down and grind through them,” Roark said. “I was targeting isolated or scattered boulders. Most of my fish were in 30 to 40 feet deep.

“The majority of my fish came on a 2.8 Keitech swimbait on a homemade 3/8-ounce ball-head jig with a screw lock. I also caught a couple of fish on a Heddon Super Spook and a few fish on a drop shot with a Berkley PowerBait MaxScent Flat Worm.”

Day 1 leader Joshua Stracner finished third with 38-15. His daily weights were 14-12, 10-14 and 13-5. He caught his bass on a crankbait, a Damiki rig, a tube and a drop shot with a 4 1/2-inch Reaction Innovations Pocket Rocket.

“I had a really slow start; I only had two or three little fish at 10 o’clock,” Stracner said. “I caught one 3-pounder in the middle of the day.

“I’d been fishing 30 to 40 feet deep for smallmouth and I’d been saving a shallow place for today. I’d been catching some largemouth on that spot. I went to it today and caught two or three and gave myself a shot.”

Fiedler won the $750 Phoenix Boats Big Bass award with his 5-6.

Bobby Drinnon of Rogersville, Tenn., completed a wire-to-wire win in the co-angler division with a three-day total of 18-3. Taking the Day 1 lead with a three-fish limit of 8-5, he added another limit of 7-11 Friday. On Saturday, Drinnon found only one keeper that weighed 2-3.

“The first two days, I was using a Berkley PowerBait MaxScent General on a 5/16-ounce shaky head that (a friend) pours,” Drinnon said. “Today, I caught my keeper on a Damiki rig with a homemade head that I pour with a Damiki Armor Shad.”

Daniel Valois Gomez of Caracas, Venezuela, won the $250 Phoenix Boats Big Bass award for co-anglers with a 4-2.

Bassmaster Elite Series pro Patrick Walters of Summerville, S.C., leads the Eastern Open standings with 581 points, followed by Stracner with 580. Pat Schlapper is in third place with 550, while Scott Martin is fourth with 541 and Timmy Thompkins is fifth with 532.

Justin Atkins of Florence, Ala., leads the Falcon Rods Bassmaster Opens Angler of the Year Standings with 1,009 points.

The tournament was hosted by Visit Jefferson County.

Sands And Dimauro Finish Dominant Win At Bassmaster College National Championship

[print_link]

LEESBURG, Fla. — With over a 15-pound lead heading into the final day of the Carhartt Bassmaster College National Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops at the Harris Chain of Lakes, the Bryan College duo of Cole Sands and Conner Dimauro rode to their starting spot with music blaring, singing and laughing to combat the anxious excitement they were feeling.

Sands and Dimauro secured their wire-to-wire victory in dominating fashion, catching 29 pounds Saturday to increase their total weight to 84-12, beating the second-place team of Cole Thompson and Benson Dowler by almost 26 pounds and earning $5,000.

The previous year at the National Championship at Chickamauga Lake, Sands and Dimauro also led the first two days, but ultimately lost the tournament by a pound.

“I think there is a saying that says the ‘thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,’” Sands said. “Last year we got to feel what defeat tasted like. Just to come back is like a storybook ending. To win this one, there is no better way to go out from Bassmaster college fishing than to win this trophy in the fashion we did.”

Their weight shattered the previous record of 72-13 in a three-day College Series event. The previous record was set at the St. Lawrence River in 2019.

Sands and Dimauro caught the majority of their fish this week, including all of their weight on Day 3, on an offshore spot on Lake Beauclair. During practice, the duo located a grassline that consisted of hydrilla and eelgrass using their Humminbird electronics that also had a hard bottom located next to the grass. Dragging Carolina rigs through the grass and onto the hard bottom triggered the bigger fish into biting.

“That’s a spot that has been producing. It is a spot people have been catching them on forever and people will be catching them on forever,” Dimauro, a Florida native, said. “We were dragging our Carolina rigs and it would get mushy and it was either a fish or a piece of grass.”

While they moved to a different area for a brief period on Day 3, their best spot produced giant bass every day of the tournament, including a fish Sands estimated to be over 8 pounds that anchored their Day 3 bag.

Sands said he used a plum melon color 6th Sense Ridge Worm starting on Day 2 and caught the majority of his big fish with it on Day 3, including the 8-pounder. Dimauro used a mix of a Bitter’s Bait and Tackle 10-inch worm and a green pumpkin Senko with the tail dyed chartreuse.

Sands landed their first fish, one that weighed around 5 pounds, within the first 45 minutes of their day and had one fish in their livewell for the next hour.

“We didn’t get bit for the first 45 minutes and we were like, ‘Oh no, this again. We aren’t going to catch a limit today on the last day of a National Championship,’” Sands said. “That first 5-pounder that bit let us settle down a little bit. Then we went a while without another bite.”

After catching two more small keepers, Sands landed their biggest fish of the day around 9:45 a.m., despite breaking his rod at the beginning of the fight. The duo quickly filled their limit and caught several more 5- and 6-pound fish before the bite stalled around noon.

Sands and Dimauro also qualify for the College Classic Bracket scheduled for Nov. 17-19 on Alabama’s Lay Lake, along with the other Top 4 finishers from the National Championship. This will be their second time competing at that event.

“This is a dream come true to win this tournament, but you make your career at the next stage,” Dimauro said. “That lines up a career if you are able to win that on the final day. That’s what we really want.

“Obviously, we really wanted to win, but the ultimate goal coming into this tournament was a Top 4.”

After starting the day in eighth place, Thompson and Dowler caught 22-8 for a three-day total of 58-14, lifting them into second-place and into the Classic Bracket. Their Day 3 bag was anchored by an 8-10 largemouth and another bass that Dowler estimates was over 7 pounds.

“We came into this thing with a rough practice,” Dowler said. “I’m excited. Lay is pretty much my home lake and I used to fish it growing up all the time.”

Thompson said they were targeting eelgrass and hydrilla in 6 to 7 feet of water, with the top of the grass coming up to about 3 feet. They triggered bites using a squarebill and a Queen Tackle Switch Blade.

“It was coming through the grass great,” Thompson said. “I’m pretty sure the main forage in this lake is needlefish, so we dialed that pattern in and that’s why those moving baits were so effective.”

Georgia Southern University’s Ty Black and Avry Thomason caught 18-1 on the final day to finish third with 57-10 total, punching their ticket to the Bracket. The duo caught their fish on a Strike King 6XD crankbait around the bridge that separates Harris Lake from Little Harris Lake.

“In 15 minutes, I caught a 4 1/2 and then he caught a 3 1/2,” Black said. “About 1:30, I caught one about 5 pounds and that bumped us up to what we got. It was a tough day, honestly. We stayed on that bridge for about six hours and we grinded through them.”

Trevor McKinney and Blake Jackson from McKendree University caught 19-1 on the final day, lifting them to fourth place with 53-1 and making them the final team to qualify for the Bracket.

Bryce Henley and Reese Kingston from Brewton-Parker College won the Carhartt Big Bass of the tournament with a 9-3 lunker they landed on Day 2. They received a $500 Carhartt gift card.
