Love a Jerkbait: Late fall is upon here like a big wet blanket. Snows are starting to fall. Cool rains are filling those lakes and ponds that almost gave their lives this year.
Kansas has been in a bad drought for a while and most of the lakes in KS have really taken it hard, so every little bit of rain is a graciously appreciated.
As those cold fall rains make it to the lakes, I think about the cooling waters and the fall jerkbait fishing that I find so fun.
Big fish like big baits: Table Rock Lake is known for its spotted bass population as well as the quality largemouth and some giant smallmouth that show up from time to time. I’ve caught the biggest spotted bass of my life fishing there. As well as some picture worthy smallmouth. This is shaping up to be a great tournament with the largemouth bass on fire right now.

Figuring out where to start can send a lump to our stomachs some days. That can be the first feeling that comes over a person when they encounter a lake the size of Table Rock.

Billions of gallons of water for those green ghost to hide in. Even if you have been to the lake 50 or 1000 times before, you still have to answer that question.
I’m heading to Table Rock Lake for a much-needed week of fishing. As I prepare—checking water levels, temps, and local guide reports—one thought keeps dominating my mind: throwing a bluegill-painted topwater for monster bass.
