Patterns

📍 Fish where the fish are

Bass PatternTarget largemouth bass around docks, riprap, points, shade lines, brush, and wind-blown banks. Use spinnerbait/chatterbait in stained water; worm, jig, or shaky head in calmer pockets.
Crappie PatternCheck brush piles, bridge pilings, dock shade, standing timber, and deeper cover. Minnows and small jigs work best when presented slowly around structure.
Catfish PatternFish creek mouths, channel edges, riprap, and evening shoreline transitions with cut bait, stink bait, or live bait where legal.
Striped / Hybrid Bass PatternWatch main-lake points, humps, bait schools, birds, and current seams. Trolling, live bait, or spoons can work when bait stacks up.
