"It seems like the bass are still largely in summertime patterns. We are fishing large schools of bass roaming offshore following schools of bass. We are having the best luck targeting these bass with jerkbaits. You can also do well right now targeting deeper grasslines with a drop shot rig." - Captain Ander

"Catching big Drum using live shrimp in 26' water. West bay a few trout using live shrimp in 5 to 6 feet of water. Water temperature is still around 77 degrees. This cool front should help lower the temperature. Overall fishing is fair. Need a North Wind to blow the water out this would push shrimp out of the bayou and back lakes." - Captain Mike
