I’m a little confused on largemouth bass with water temps still looming around 60 degrees, I put new line on my two trap setups sometime in mid October and have yet to wipe the dust off. Last year water temps were about 10 degrees cooler (water temp was 54 degrees November 7th last year) and the trap bite had been heavy for over a month. The lake is frustrating a lot of anglers, but most agree it is just a waiting game until the water cools off…hopefully we will have an exceptional December like we had 4 years ago.
Instead of playing around trying to figure out the bass I have been crappie fishing. Guide Ray Vereen let me tag along a few days back and had an incredible morning. 4 nice slabs (15″+) and a total of 28 keepers and 2 yellow bass.
