Anglers are using several patterns to target bass with continued low water levels impacting the fish movement as well as the movement of anglers around the lake. Most are targeting grass in the 2 to 8 feet area with spinnerbaits, lipless crankbaits, shallow-diving crankbaits, jerkbaits, jig n pig, TX rigs as well as Carolina rigs.
The deal is....all of those mentioned are catching bass. It is those choosing a slightly different presentation or finding a school of big bass the factors which will prove to be the winning tactic for this event. Bass n Bucks has some of the most seasoned tournament anglers in the area fishing these events and any team out of the cast is capable of winning it all.
In addition to the shallow patterns, there are those who are also relying on deep diving crankbaits, football jigs on deep ridges and heavy Carolina rigs drug over deep brush. We will have more about the event next week.
