Artificial Lure here with the latest scoop on what’s hot in bass fishing across the U.S., and as always, I’m all about the real talk, no fluff—just what you want to know before you hit the water.First up, let’s talk **recent lunkers and records**. Over in Massachusetts, the current leader for largemouth is rocking a hefty 7 pounds 13 ounces out of Moores Pond, Warwick, while a chunky 25-inch catch-and-release largemouth was landed in the Chicopee River, Ludlow. Smallmouth chasers, there’s a 23-inch slab from Assawompset Pond, Lakeville, to inspire your next cast. These northeast waters are getting just cool enough for bass to strap on the feed bag, so don’t sleep on those New England lakes and rivers this fall. All info comes from the state’s November 2025 Sportfishing Awards leaderboard.If you prefer your bass a little swampy, big news down in Louisiana—LDWF has kicked off their very first stakeholder-driven Black Bass Management Plan. Basically, they’re crowd-sourcing ideas on how to keep those marsh monsters fat and plenty. That means bass fishing in the Bayou State could get even better, and they want local anglers involved in shaping the future. For the locals, now’s the time to make your voice heard and maybe nudge your favorite honey hole onto the map.Over in Texas, home of bruiser largemouths, the all-tackle record for the Brazos River still stands at a beastly 11.71 pounds caught by Mark A. Bohanan, but with cooling weather and forage stacked up, don’t be surprised if someone nudges that top mark in the next few weeks. Folks are also reporting strong fall bites for largemouth at Lake Fork and Ray Roberts, and plenty of action on glide baits and swimbaits in reservoirs like Rocky Gorge—prime time for big strips, heavy cover, and aggressive surface attacks, according to local guides.Let’s not skip over the tournament scene, because Grand Lake, Oklahoma, has been the stage for some serious weigh-ins this November during the Toyota Series Championship. Final numbers are still rolling in, but the second day saw big sacks hit the scales, with a mix of classic crankbaits and jigs helping pros pluck bass from deep brush and docks.For you fly anglers—yes, there’s much to be jazzed about. Maryland rivers like the Magothy, Severn, and local reservoirs are on fire right now for those pitching streamers or topwater bugs, especially in areas holding late autumn shad runs. If you’re itching for a hybrid adventure, try targeting bass near shad schools at sunrise with big hand-tied deceivers or mini poppers—you’ll get that aggressive chase hit that makes fly fishing for bass so addictive.And here’s a twist: while most of the country is winding down open water season, Georgia’s fall bite is just heating up, with Lake Lanier and surrounding reservoirs reporting stripers and largemouth blitzing drop-offs and points. If you fancy yourself a night-owl, clear fall nights are producing some impressive topwater action. Think buzzbaits, jitterbugs, and foam creatures dropped right at the edge of a moonlit dock.Major League Fishing’s fall events have also thrown the spotlight on lakes like Big Arbor Vitae in Wisconsin, where teams hauled in 46 scorable bass in a single day. Talk about numbers to keep you warm through first ice!As always, big thanks for tuning in. Come back next week for more local intel, national bragging rights, and maybe a few secrets only the regulars whisper at the ramp.

Hey bass heads, it’s Artificial Lure! Buckle up because the last week has been wild for bass fishing across the U.S.—and if you love a river run or tossing flies for monster largemouth, you’re gonna want to hear all this.First off, talk about a reel legend—Ohio just saw its bass record absolutely smashed. George Bruggeman of New Carlisle hooked a jaw-dropping 37.375-pound striped bass at Kiser Lake last week. He was just out for bluegills, rigged up with 8-pound line and half a nightcrawler, and lucked into one of those classic “you’re gonna need a bigger net” moments. Striper fans, pay attention—Kiser’s clearly holding some giants, especially this time of year when the cooling water has the big fish refueling for winter. According to the Outdoor Writers of Ohio State Record Fish Committee, this beast edged out the record that stood for more than thirty years. Proof that you don’t need heavy tackle to land legends—sometimes panfish gear delivers the thrill! CBS News Pittsburgh had all the details and the photos to make you double-check your own line weight next time you’re targeting bluegill.Want more of a hotspot rundown, fresher than your morning coffee? Right now, the killer striper and largemouth bite is lighting up at Lake Fork in Texas, a lake that’s basically the bass capital of America. Expectations are always high there, but word from seasoned guides and the Texas Parks & Wildlife crew is that fall action is legit with double-digit largemouth being boated. For the fly anglers, the Brazos River is still producing—recent records show Jamie Meaux landed a sweet 1-pound bluegill on the fly just last month, and the largemouth run is picking up with the cooler temps. Don’t sleep on Clear Lake in California either—its weed beds right now are prime real estate for fired-up largemouth and some husky crappie, if you ever feel like mixing it up.Lake Guntersville in Alabama continues its run as a tournament mecca, with the 2025 Bass Pro Shops REDCREST championship wrapping up there, and big numbers of both largemouth and spotted bass showing up in tourney weigh-ins. The fall tournaments at Table Rock Lake in Missouri and Grand Lake in Oklahoma are heating up as well—pros are reporting steady bites in pre-front conditions. That means time your trips right before the next cold snap for your best chance at those aggressive bass.For you Southern anglers, there’s big news: Louisiana’s Department of Wildlife and Fisheries just kicked off the state’s first ever Black Bass Management Plan, meaning even better days ahead for our favorite green fish—expect this to translate into more big catches and fun tournaments in the future.Pacific Northwest fans—get your kayaks ready. The KFNW Kayak Bass Classic is returning to Washington’s Potholes Reservoir in October 2025, which is famous for monster smallmouth and largemouth. Last season, fly casters cleaning up with streamers around island points had everyone talking, and the bite should stay hot with roomy prep for fall.And to the surf casters mixing things up on the East Coast—New Jersey’s barrier islands are the scene of non-stop striped bass action this week, with bunker schools pulling big fish right up to the sand. That’s the kind of fast bite that tests your knots and your stamina.With cooling water, the bite everywhere is ramping up, but bass are shifting to that classic fall pattern: feeding up before winter, then slowing down after cold fronts. According to the Bass Forecast crew, “Get on the water pre-front if you can—active feeding now turns to slow, tough fishing after the cold moves through.”That’s a wrap for Artificial Lure—thanks for hanging out and soaking up the freshest action. Bring your best stories to the launch, and come back next week for more reel talk and hot lake reports.This has been a Quiet Please production, and for even more, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

Hey bass heads, Artificial Lure here with the latest scoop on bass fishing in the U.S.—let’s hit the hot bites, wild catches, and what’s changing on the water this week.First up, the record books got a fresh ink stain in Iowa this month when Toby Franks landed a spotted bass tipping the scales at 2.32 pounds on the Iowa River. This wasn’t just a local legend—it’s the new state record as confirmed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. That stretch between Coralville Lake and River Junction is becoming famous for southern transplants like spotted bass, and regular sampling keeps turning up even bigger fish. So for folks chasing different bass vibes in the Midwest, Coralville Reservoir and Lake MacBride are now on the “must-wet-a-line-here” list.Down south, Lake Dardanelle in Arkansas was the stage for Shawn Gordon to haul in a winning five-bass limit at 20 pounds, 3 ounces during the Phoenix Bass Fishing League showdown last Saturday. If you’re after tournament-size largemouth action, this stretch is proving it’s got the goods for significant stringers.Let’s talk hot spots for fall. Bass Forecast pegs the entire eastern U.S. in “late fall” bite patterns. The Northeast is holding strong with good action, especially in Maryland, New York, and New Jersey. In Maryland, the upper Bay near Conowingo Dam, the mouth of the Patapsco, and the Bay Bridge piers are producing striped bass for those tossing poppers and paddletails at sunrise and sunset. In-shore ledges and deep river channels (think Potomac, Patuxent) have been the go-to for jigging and umbrella rigs. According to Maryland DNR fishing reports, schools of striper are lined up where bait is pouring out, and with water temps dropping into the mid-50s, the big fall feed is on.Farther south, Kentucky Lake in Tennessee is back in the spotlight. ExploreKentuckyLake.com ranks it as a premier pick for both casual floats and serious crappie and bass chasing. If you’re after a multi-species bonanza, Lake Barkley and Land Between the Lakes also deliver, with full-service marinas and bass-rich waters ideal for long casts and kayak missions.Big events keep rolling in. Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana, is set to host the final leg of Major League Fishing’s Bass Pro Shops Summit Cup next week at mystery fisheries, so expect some wild scenes and big names battling for bragging rights. Meanwhile, the American Bass Anglers Tour just wrapped up a few divisional wins, proving that it's still anybody’s game (and weekend anglers need not feel left out).What’s going on in regulations and conservation? Striped bass management is making headlines along the Atlantic. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission met in Delaware and, against tighter limits, decided to keep current striped bass quotas for 2026. The debate highlighted concerns about stock rebuilding by 2029, declining catches, and the tangled balance between conservation and keeping charter captains working. Some pro guides say the reduction in catch shows the fish need a break, while others argue economic consequences are hitting real hard. Either way, the Commission will keep tweaking management beyond 2029, so stay tuned if you chase stripers or swap stories with salty locals.Gear heads and fly fishers get an extra nod with Bassmaster’s review of top lures from this season. Jerkbaits and Carolina rigs are catching fire as cooling trends push fish deeper, especially in Great Plains and Midwest lakes. If you like fooling finicky fall bass on long casts—a Ned rig on deep structure is money right now.That’s the short cast for this week. Keep those reels greased, your flies tight, and don’t forget to share your photos—next week could be when your catch makes the highlights!Thanks for tuning in and make sure to come back next week for more bass banter.

Hey fellow anglers, Artificial Lure here, reeling you in with the latest buzz from the world of bass fishing in the good ol’ U.S. of A. Let’s cut straight to the chase: if you’re itching for action, big catches, and some local legends, bass fishing has delivered a wild few weeks.First up, notable catches have been making serious waves. On Lake Mayer in Chatham County, Georgia, Dane Eyres just hauled in an 8-pound largemouth that folks are still talking about. That’s the kind of fish that gets you called back to the dock for photos, not just a quick fillet job. Down in Texas, records keep getting tested, and anglers like Hunter Stuart continue to charm largemouth near the 9-pound mark. Just in 2023 at Lake Granbury, Rhyder Hudson bagged a 7.51-pound hybrid striped bass, showing that Lone Star waters are cranking out lunkers for the record books, and recent reports have area mouths watering for the next big bite.Hot spots this week? Get up early or stay late, because Clarks Hill Lake in Georgia is firing for topwater action right at sun-up, especially on buzzbaits and poppers over shallow shoals, according to the Georgia Outdoor News lake reports. If you’re more of a cold-weather chaser, the smallmouth are lining up at Lake St. Clair up north. Trey McKinney just kept the lead wire-to-wire to take the Bassmaster Elite win there—St. Clair is showing why it’s a bucket-list spot for winter smallie hunters who want to see tubes and drop-shots get smashed in deep, cold water.Let’s not leave out Cayuga Lake in New York, where Dakota Ebare just set a Bass Pro Tour record by landing a 7-pound, 10-ounce smallmouth during the championship round. If that doesn’t light a fire under you, check your pulse, because smallmouth of that size in a tournament setting is pure adrenaline. For the fly crowd, the fall run is hot on sand eel and bunker imitations from the Jersey Shore up through the Cape; striped bass are blitzing bait and there’s definitely crossover potential for both fly and spin fishing zest, as fly fishers and regular rodders alike hunt down those visible topwater schools, as The Average Angler blog points out.Out west, if you’re looking for something different, Colorado’s Two Buttes Reservoir has called an emergency fish salvage—water levels are dropping and the state wants all licensed anglers to come take as many bass (and anything else) as they can before winter hits. Not your everyday catch-and-release situation, but hey, an opportunity is an opportunity.There’s also some good homegrown news for anyone rooting for the U.S. on the international stage. Team USA just took home gold at the Black Bass World Championship, with a couple of Lee County, Alabama, locals leading the charge. Next year, the world’s best will be coming stateside to Hot Springs, Arkansas, for another crack at the title—might be worth planning a trip if you want to rub shoulders with the world’s best.So, whether you’re tracking stripers along the Atlantic, bombing crankbaits across Guntersville, or swinging streamers for those freshwater bruisers in the South, it’s a great time to be a bass angler. Bring your tubes for cold water, tie on a hair jig for fall finesse, or just stick it out with your favorite popper on those misty mornings. The fish are biting if you know where—and when—to cast.Thanks for tuning in to the latest from Artificial Lure. Remember, come back next week for more fresh bass intel.

Artificial Lure here—ready to drop some spicy updates about what’s cooking in the world of bass fishing across the United States.Let’s start with some big catches making headlines. Last weekend at City Lake, Jack Meehan landed a chunky 4 lb. 15 oz. bass, snatching the top spot for largest catch in his club’s season and only one ounce behind the all-time record. That’s the kind of bass that makes you rethink your knot choices and wish you’d brought along a bigger net. Meanwhile, over at Lake Eufaula, Ben Cleary from Monticello out-fished more than 700 anglers and walked away with a brand new Nitro bass boat at the 3rd annual Minn Kota and Humminbird Owners Tournament in March. Sometimes dreaming big pays off, especially if you can land 18 lbs. in a five-fish limit, like Christopher Wilder did at Lake Oconee’s tournament, pocketing a sweet $6,641—including a fat bonus for tossing his Phoenix gear.Looking for hot spots this month? Bartletts Ferry on the Chattahoochee is firing up for both largemouth and spotted bass. Word is the bite’s staying strong through November, so if you’re itching for action, get those rigs ready. Lake Varner in Georgia is also living up to its reputation for big bass—locals still recall its explosive prespawn runs in early spring, but the bite’s been consistent this fall. Out west, anglers are buzzing about Folsom Lake in California, where the spotted bass are chasing bait like they’re late for a party, especially at dawn and dusk. If you’re one for smallmouth, Carters Lake has been delivering fast action on shad-chasing spots.Tournament fever is still raging. The Bass Pro Tour’s Tackle Warehouse Invitationals are about to wrap up at the legendary St. Lawrence River in New York. This spot is ground zero for smallmouth showdowns, and last August saw Casey Smith haul in 72 pounds over three days—serious bragging rights. The Invitationals this July are expected to be rowdy, with the Angler of the Year race coming down to the wire and championship slots on the line.In Virginia, Smith Mountain Lake and Kerr are heating up with back-to-back BassKings Solo events, including a December classic. The Bass Nation of VA just wrapped its big State Championship at Smith Mountain Lake, where Daniel and Douglas Eubank clinched the team title on November 2nd. If you’re in the area, pencil in November 8th—another BassKings event is dropping at Buggs Island.For the bass heads who pivot to fly rods now and then, the turnover season is here. Water temps are cooling off and oxygen levels are up along the banks, especially in spots like Lake Nottley, Georgia. Bassmaster pros say now’s prime time for bass to corral baitfish in flats and creek pockets, so throwing smaller flies or lighter jigs near gravel bars and secondary points could spark some wild strikes.The science side says fall bass are getting trickier. Their big summer schools are breaking up and solo fish or small gangs are roaming, hunting shad and bluegill stuffing the cafeteria. Don’t expect a bonanza every outing—patience, a keen eye for water clarity, and a variety of presentations are key right now.A little controversy erupted at the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, where striped bass management stays unchanged for 2026 despite angler concerns and scientific calls for cuts. Maryland waters, especially the Chesapeake Bay, have seen below-average young-of-year surveys for striped bass seven years running, so expect more chatter about fisheries management this winter.Before I crank the trolling motor off, huge thanks for tuning in to this week’s bass fishing briefing with Artificial Lure. Next week, you know where to catch the latest on the nation’s best bites, record-breaking catches, and local lore. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

This is Artificial Lure coming at you with the latest on bass fishing in the USA, and if you’re a fly fishing enthusiast hoping to land a lunker – you’re in the right spot.Let’s talk recent notable catches. Down South, Lake Guntersville in Alabama has been lighting up the bass fishing scene, with big bass coming out of grass mats practically begging for a punch rig. Anglers out there have been pulling out hefty largemouths by targeting the thickest mats of hydrilla and coontail. Just last week, Archer from Dollar Jerky Club and friends showed off some hogs caught punching through those juicy mats – it’s proof those grass edges are still holding monsters this fall. They’re running a heck of a giveaway, too, so keep your eye on those Guntersville videos for a chance to win some bass-grade jerky. If you’re a fly flinger, you might have to ditch the 4-weight for an 8 or 9, but those weed lines are legit for stripping big streamers through – big bass absolutely cannot resist when the water cools.Now, up North, the bite is just as hot but a bit more finesse. In Michigan, the Phoenix Bass Fishing League’s smallmouth tournaments have kept pressure on those Great Lakes brutes. Nolan Mandel has dominated the lakes with consistent top-10 finishes, mostly working drop-shots and Ned rigs, but don’t let that discourage you fly anglers. Late fall is prime for sight-fishing monster smallmouths in clear water with baitfish imitations, and if you’re willing to brave chilly Michigan mornings, you might just hook into a fish of a lifetime.Hot spots? This month, Lake Conroe in Texas is still the place to flex your drag – largemouths up to 16 pounds have shown up in past seasons, and current reports from Texas Parks and Wildlife keep it in the heavyweight championship running. Fall turnover has got fish moving shallower, and Conroe’s timber and boat docks are holding, especially on bright days after a cold snap. Throwing a big fly near the shade line or flipping craw patterns will put you in the running for a photo-worthy bass.Meanwhile, up in Pennsylvania, Outdoor News reports the big bass bite is kicking in on many lakes as water cools into the 50s. The classic fall pattern of topwater in the mornings is hanging on just a little bit longer than usual this year. If you’re not throwing poppers on your fly rod in skinny water before the sun gets high, you’re missing out. It’s not all good news, though. On the striped bass side (which, let’s be real, plenty of us also chase when we get the chance), there’s been drama. Fishery managers on the East Coast are holding back on cutting catch limits despite concerns about menhaden, a key food source for stripers, according to Chesapeake Bay Magazine. While the current management plan claims striped bass are on track for rebuilding, conservation groups are still sounding alarms – so if you’re headed out after stripers in the coming weeks, stay tuned for possible new regulations and keep an eye on forage patterns.Big money tournaments continue to draw the best in the sport, and the recent Folds of Honor Patriot Cup on Logan Martin Lake in Alabama saw Jacob Wheeler and Dustin Connell mop up with over 70 pounds of bass. Just goes to show, fall tournament season is prime time for heavy sacks and heavy bragging rights across the southeast.Quick reminder: Whether you’re a gear-head or sworn to the stick and line, November is still topwater time in a big chunk of the country. Don’t be in a hurry to put those poppers and mice away just because the calendar flipped – water temps in the low 50s still produce heart-stopping eats.That’s a wrap for this week’s trip around the nation’s best bass haunts. Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure! Come back next week for the latest fishing updates, and remember, this has been a Quiet Please production.

Artificial Lure here with your weekly lowdown on the latest and greatest in bass fishing across the U.S.—so grab your waders, dust off that old popper, and let’s dive right in.Fall is prime time for bass fanatics, and if you’ve fished Table Rock Lake in the Ozarks lately, you know the bite’s hotter than a fresh jug of crawdad boil. According to a Branson fishing report, bass are staging up on rocky ledges, main-lake points, and brush piles from 10 to 25 feet. Crankbaits in shad and craw colors are pulling in both largemouths and smallies, while spinnerbaits and chatterbaits get bonus points when the wind kicks up. Sunrise poppers? Don’t skip ‘em; those bass are still smashing topwater before the sun climbs. Fish are feeding hard ahead of winter, so if you want a chance at that Table Rock Trifecta—largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted—now’s the time to make stories you’ll be telling all winter[Branson Fishing Report].Speaking of big catches, Jacob Wheeler just absolutely shattered the Bass Pro Tour single-day record up in Massena, New York. He wrangled up 47 bass for a staggering 165 pounds, 1 ounce in a single day. The previous record wasn’t just topped by Wheeler; second and third place pros also beat it, showing that these northern waters are on fire for monster smallmouths. A whopping 918 bass and over 2,800 pounds were caught in one day—that’s a lot of bent rods and stretched lines. If you ever wondered where to bust your personal best, hit those St. Lawrence River areas for a wild ride[Major League Fishing].Bass tournaments are switching things up in 2025. For the Bass Pro Tour, every regular-season event winner now pockets a juicy $150,000 check, up from the usual $100K. The format is fresh too: the whole field fishes at the same time for the first two days. And here’s the kicker—new rules mean anglers can only use forward-facing sonar for one period per day. That’s gonna mean more classic tactics like crankin’, flipping, and bait-chucking for the old-schoolers who love a hands-on approach. Expect to see even the pros covering more water, mixing in good old-fashioned lure-craft with a touch of high-tech. It should make for can’t-miss live streams if you follow MLFNOW![Major League Fishing].As for hot spots, Lake Conroe in Texas is the season opener for the 2025 pro circuit. Harris Chain of Lakes in Florida, Lake Murray in South Carolina, Lake Guntersville in Alabama, and Kentucky Lake all round out a stacked tournament slate this winter and spring. If you’re looking for legendary largemouth, Lake Guntersville’s deep grass beds and bridge pilings are still some of the best draws southeast of the Mississippi. And don’t sleep on the Potomac River, Maryland—the grass flats and tidal swings there are notorious for big, aggressive bass[Major League Fishing].Want something on the wild and weird side? There’s buzz about “fuzzy dice” rigs—yep, actual dice-shaped attractors—making the rounds in some bass circles, adding a little Vegas flair to finesse fishing. Time will tell if this is the hot ticket or just flashy tackle box garnish. Tournament pros on the St. Lawrence River have seen good luck with it mixed into their smallmouth patterns. If you’re a fly enthusiast, keep an eye on those dice for a possible crossover—you never know what a curious bass might smash when the water’s right[Major League Fishing].And for you record chasers—Georgia legend George Perry’s 22-pound, 4-ounce largemouth from Montgomery Lake still stands, tied for the world record and sparking a century of fish tales and debates[Georgia Wildlife Resources Division]. If you’re a fly fisher up for a challenge, the upper Coosa River in Alabama promises red-eye bass ready to brawl under leafy shade and rocky riffles, making for an adventurous day away from the crowds[Great Days Outdoors].Thanks for tuning in for this week’s roundup. Come back next week for more big catches, local secrets, and a few laughs from yours truly. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for me check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

Hey anglers, Artificial Lure sliding into your feed with the latest on bass fishing across the U.S.! With the leaves changing and water temps dropping, the bite is on, and—get this—the stories from the water are wilder than ever. Let’s jump right into what’s hot, what’s not, and the juicy catches locals are talking about.First up: **notable recent catches**. If you haven't heard, Adam White and Chaz Wilson took top honors at Mayo Lake’s 5 Alive tournament in North Carolina, hauling in a stringer that included a whopping 6.04-pound bass. That big fish bonus definitely raised some eyebrows and gave bragging rights to team Strickland & Phillips, who landed it and pocketed the extra cash. Tournaments across the Southeast are seeing solid weights thanks to the cooler October weather keeping the bass hungry and active.Now for the **hot spots**. Georgia is heating up—literally. The folks at Georgia Outdoor News say West Point Lake is magic this November, and Allatoona Lake is perfect for teaching the next generation how to read structure and work crankbaits. Whether you’re launching a boat for serious tournament fishing or just exploring with the family on a crisp fall morning, these southern reservoirs are producing largemouths right at that 3-pound mark, with a spotted bass bite perfect for folks who like tossing flashy flies or swim jigs.If you’re an East Coast local, the **Chesapeake Bay is still holding its own**, especially if you’re into striped bass (or “rockfish,” as the old-timers call 'em). According to Maryland’s latest fishing report, stripers are hanging around deeper holes in the lower Potomac and Patuxent rivers, with topwater and paddle-tail lures producing at places like Thomas Point and Poplar Island. The Bay Bridge—always a classic—is putting up stripers close to bridge pilings and rock piles, and some salty insiders are drifting live eels and perch for that strike you remember all winter. Despite another year of tough recruitment, action for slot-sized fish remains solid if you know where to look.Here’s one for the *tournament chasers*: the National Professional Fishing League wrapped its championship on Lake Hartwell in South Carolina, with the 2025 circuit spotlighting southern favorites like Santee Cooper and Lake Norman. Live-stream weigh-ins brought big crowds (and even bigger bass), fueling the friendly rivalry between pros and weekend warriors. Hartwell, Logan Martin, and Eufaula—mark those on your travel calendar for next year if you want a shot at your PB.Midwest and Southern lakes are still seeing the fall transition, so tactics are changing. On Pickwick Lake, guides warn the grass is thin this year, so bass are stacking up near structure and cover instead. The fall pattern means those old-school techniques like jigging or working drop shots around ledges and rocks are back in play.And for my fly rod folks—bass are chasing shad and menhaden. Smaller baitfish flush out of the streams, and fishing a streamer or popper through the shallows at sunrise or sunset has been sparking some epic blow-ups. If you love fly fishing for trout, trust me, the fall bass bite is for you: aggressive fish, cooler mornings, and plenty of action close to shore. Grab that 7-weight and leave the nymphs at home—a flashy deer hair diver can be your ticket to a local legend moment.Don’t forget, Texas Parks and Wildlife is still logging record stripers on Lake Conroe. The biggest recent catch was 12.11 pounds and nearly 29 inches long. Fall is prime time for double-digit bass if you’ve got patience and some local intel.Thanks for tuning in—Artificial Lure appreciates you dropping by for the freshest local reports. Swing back next week for more fishy news, notably big catches and secret spots only the die-hards know about. This has been a Quiet Please production.

Artificial Lure here with your latest on the bass fishing buzz across the good ol’ U.S. of A. Pour yourself some black coffee and let’s talk stripers, largemouth, and smallies—plus everything happening on the water that gets a fly-rodder’s fingers twitching.Let’s kick it off with a whopper—George Bruggeman, down in Ohio, just hauled in a new state record striped bass at 37.375 pounds using eight-pound line and a plain ol’ nightcrawler. Talk about classic! This beast was landed September 29 in Champaign County, proving that even when everyone’s talking new-school rigs, sometimes you just can’t beat the basics. The News-Messenger shared his story, and I’d be willing to bet anyone who says they weren’t a little giddy reading it is fibbing.Now, let’s talk hot spots, because finding the right water is half the magic. According to the latest “Unleash the Bite” cast on Spreaker, Toledo Bend is still THAT lake. Just last week, Cody Pitt put himself in the record books there during an MLF event, hauling in a 39-pound, 15-ounce bag anchored by a single jaw-dropping 13-6 largemouth. That’s the biggest ever weighed in BFL competition, and sets the social feeds ablaze with dream-of-a-lifetime catches. Major League Fishing called it the sixth biggest single-day limit ever—if you’re itching for a monster, Toledo Bend should be circled in red on your map.For fly and finesse anglers, word from the Wachusett Reservoir in Massachusetts is the fall largemouth and smallmouth bite is heating up something fierce. According to Max from Fisherman’s World in Connecticut, there’s been an uptick in big smallies near Assawompset Pond, hitting topwater at dusk for those tuning in to local advice. Sunrise and sunset are the ticket now: tie on your favorite deer hair popper and wade quietly if you want to land one of those 20-plus inch brutes.Southern and Central U.S. lakes aren’t staying quiet either. Lake Chatuge in Georgia is running clear and cooling off, which means the bass are leaving the deep and getting more aggressive—anglers using shad imitations or heavier flies are reporting hot action. And if you find yourself out west, the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife just recently restocked Round Valley Reservoir with largemouth between 6 and 14 inches, giving you a shot at scrappy, hard-fighting fish in scenic, off-the-beaten-path water.Tournament talk? If you’ve got a competitive streak, Grove, Oklahoma is about to become the epicenter as more than 350 anglers descend on Grand Lake o’ the Cherokees for the Toyota Series Championship. With a prize pot that would make anybody’s head spin, this is one showdown to watch, and maybe pick up a few new tricks from the big sticks.A quick note—striped bass managers on the Atlantic coast, according to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and ASA, have sparked big debate by voting to keep this year’s fishing rules unchanged, even with several tough years of young fish recruitment behind us. Some states pushed for stricter limits, but for now it’s status quo—seasoned fly anglers who chase stripers in the surf, estuaries, and rivers will want to keep an ear out for your own region’s tweaks and conservation updates.Before I sign off, one last piece for you: if you’re looking for topwater chaos, head to Providence and Seekonk Rivers in Rhode Island, or Ohio Ledge and Colt State Park, where birds working the bait pods means the bass are in hot pursuit underneath. Early and late in the day, you’ll find them busting bait and ready for any streamer or popper you can put in the strike zone.That’s all from Artificial Lure, spinning up the real stories from America’s bass waters. Big thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to come back next week for another local’s-only look at where the bass are biting. This has been a Quiet Please production.

Hey all you river hounds and lake junkies, Artificial Lure here with your latest dose of Bass Fishing buzz from every corner of the U.S.—and trust me, it’s been an October to remember!First off, how about some recent jaw-dropping catches? There’s chatter all over Texas, where the cooling weather is kicking the largemouth into high gear. The Texas Parks & Wildlife Department’s recent fishing report shouted out 4.96-pound black bass in just 3 to 8 feet of water at Lake Brownwood, with wake baits and chatterbaits doing all the heavy lifting along the shoreline grass and brush. Over on Choke Canyon—notoriously low but still fishy—bank anglers are landing solid black bass and some monster catfish, even with all the boat ramps closed. That’s commitment, folks.Further east, Georgia’s Paradise Public Fishing Area is seeing bass push offshore as nighttime temps drop, but die-hards casting finesse rigs onto points and humps are reporting consistent bites. Nothing like those crisp Southern evenings when you get that thump on a shaky head right at sunset.Big news on the bass tournament front: the National Professional Fishing League rolled out its 2025 trail, and if you want to chase top sticks or just stalk the pros for pattern insight, mark these spots: Santee Cooper, Lake Norman, Douglas Lake, Lake Eufaula, the St. Lawrence River, and Logan Martin, all leading up to the grand slam at Lake Hartwell next fall. These are some true “bucket list” fisheries—think big largemouth, rowdy spotted bass, and if you’re lucky, smallmouth that’ll bend your 7-weight fly rod like a noodle. Seasoned local guides say Douglas Lake’s mid-May bite and Lake Norman’s spring action are prime for swapping spinning gear for a 5-inch streamer and giving those bass something wild to chase.Hot spots? If you want downright reliable catching, you can’t do better than the current water at Texas’ Cedar Creek Lake. The sustained seventy-degree water and classic fall shad migration have turned on both hybrids and largemouth with slabs and spinnerbaits producing aggressive strikes. If you’re beating the banks in Maryland, don’t sleep on the tidal sections and rocky piers around the Baltimore Inner Harbor or the mouth of the Patapsco—where early and late topwater is basically must-fish time according to the Maryland Department of Natural Resources. And don’t forget about the Lower Potomac and Patuxent rivers, which are prime zones for casting paddletails or jerkbaits along channel edges.Now, for something that’ll get conservation-minded anglers (looking at you, fly fishers) talking: the coastwide menhaden catch limit is dropping by 20% in 2026 to try and help bring back the striped bass population along the Atlantic seaboard. That means more baitfish in the ecosystem, which could make your spring and fall bass runs even more electric. The Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission is signaling that further cuts might be on the way if the science points that direction, and there’s a fresh research roadmap being drawn up by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. From the Gulf to the Northeast, more bait in the water spells fatter, feistier bass, so keep an eye on those rule changes if you like your lines tight.And because every fishing town has its legend, Wisconsin just celebrated a monster white bass caught in the Mississippi River: 22.25 inches and over 5 pounds—a reminder that our northern lakes still hide giants, waiting for the patient caster or the drifting bugger.Whether you’re chasing bass on a fly, skipping jigs under docks, or joining tournaments, now’s the magic window: the bite’s good, the crowds are thinning, and every cold front brings a new batch of unpressured fish cruising the banks.That’s all for this week’s bass roundup. Thank you for tuning in, and be sure to come back next week for another hit of fresh water action. This has been Artificial Lure, and a Quiet Please production.

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with the inside scoop on all things bass fishing across the U.S. this week. If you’re itching for the latest big catches, the hottest bites, and a little fishy inspiration—especially for the fly-curious among you—you’re in the right boat.Let’s start where the lunkers live: Florida. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s TrophyCatch program is handing out serious props this November to nine anglers who each landed a jaw-dropping largemouth weighing a whopping 13 pounds or better. These catches aren’t just one-cast wonders—they help track and conserve Florida’s world-famous bass fishery. TrophyCatch has been rewarding big-bass chasers since 2012, so if you’re into hunting giants and contributing to conservation, Florida is ground zero right now. The celebration is happening in Daytona on November 8th, so if you’re local or want to see some true hall-of-fame bass in person, drop by Bass Pro Shops that day.Meanwhile, the action in tournament circles isn’t letting up. The Bassmaster BASS Nation Championship just wrapped in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Nick Trim of Galesville pulled a wire-to-wire win, bringing a four-day total of 77 pounds to the scale—four pounds heavier than second place. That’s old-school domination and proof that Wisconsin river country can throw down some serious tournament weights. Also, in the southeast, Keith and Penny Miller from Scottsboro, Alabama, stole the show (and $5,000) at the Toyota Owners Tournament on legendary Lake Guntersville. For this couple, it wasn’t just about the prize; it was about the fun and camaraderie—which sums up why we chase bass, whether it’s in a tournament or just for bragging rights over coffee the next morning. Their secret? Targeting scattered grass in mid-lake—a classic move that paid off despite the post-front fishing funk.If you like to mix things up with a fly rod or prefer to hunt bass wherever the bite is popping, let’s talk hotspots. Central Florida is turning on. The first real cool snap of the season is dropping air temps into the 70s, and according to SpaceFish, the inshore and freshwater bite is guaranteed to be hot as fish gear up for winter. If you’re in the Sunshine State, now is the time to throw frogs or big streamer flies around the lakes and ponds when the wind settles down. Up north, Minnesota fall fishing is top-notch, with bigmouth and smallmouth both smashing moving baits as water temps dip. Focus on the transitions: weed lines and points during warming afternoons can be dynamite with a big streamer or a craw imitation.Let’s not forget Lake Hartwell in South Carolina, where Jason Burroughs took home gold in the MLF Phoenix Bass Fishing League, stacking up a five-fish limit for 19 pounds, 6 ounces. That area is hopping for both gear and fly anglers as fall moves fish shallow and the biggest bass chase baitfish up onto points and into coves.Tournament junkies, if you want to fish for major prizes but keep it on the weekend warrior level, Major League Fishing just expanded the Phoenix Bass Fishing League to 12 regional tournaments next year and set the BFL All-American for May at Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas. More locals get a shot, and with a $50,000 boat or $20,000 in cash on the line, it’s not just the pros cashing checks.For all my fly anglers, don’t sleep on bass. The fall transition is a golden window for streamer and popper action, and with big fish moving shallow, it’s prime time to get creative. Whether you want to target a Florida giant or chase river smallies up north, conditions are dialed.Thanks for tuning in to today’s edition with Artificial Lure.

Hey, you’re listening to Artificial Lure, your guide to the real talk, real deal, and real-time news in American bass fishing. Pull up a dock chair, grab your favorite rod, and let’s see what’s biting in the U.S. this week.Starting off, let’s talk big catches – the kind that get your buddies texting you at 5 a.m. George Bruggeman of New Carlisle, Ohio, went out on Kiser Lake just hoping for some bluegill and perch, but ended up landing a 37.3-pound state record striped bass—on 8-pound test line! That’s the kind of story we swap over coffee—you never know what’s lurking under those calm waters. And trust me, the local bait shop is still buzzing about it, according to the Sandusky Register.Now, for those serious about bass, the action is where the water’s moving and the grass is green. Up in Maryland, Department of Natural Resources biologists just dropped new research showing that bigger, healthier largemouth bass populations are all about that thick, lush underwater grass—especially in the upper Chesapeake Bay watersheds. More grass, more bass. When the grass is low, even the best anglers feel the pinch. It’s a reminder that us locals need to protect those beds and keep ’em clear for the spawn. In fact, Maryland DNR is working with bass tournaments now to monitor catch-and-release impacts, because keeping the habitat healthy is the only way to keep the bass biting.If you’re looking for your next hot spot, Louisiana is serving up some solid action. Caney Lake’s docks are holding bass, especially if you go jig-and-froggin’ early, and don’t overlook topwater action in the river cuts behind Bussey Brake. The Ouachita River is low but still kicking out bass on current breaks—watch those shad patterns, according to the latest Jackson Parish Journal fishing report. And up on Lake D’Arbonne, head deep after breakfast for the biggest fish. You’ll find crappie and catfish biting, too—perfect for when you need a break from casting for greenbacks.Up north, tournament anglers are still catching their breath after the 2025 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship on the Upper Mississippi, where local legend Nick Trim put on a clinic. He hauled in 77 pounds of bass over four days—wire to wire—earning a berth into the 2026 Bassmaster Classic and plenty of bragging rights. What’s the secret? Location, location, location. Trim’s from Galesville, Wisconsin, and after a few thousand trips downriver, he knows every wing dam and sandbar. According to Bassmaster, this year’s champs leaned into the chilly, late-autumn bite, proving these river fish can get downright aggressive when the air starts to sting.Meanwhile, the world of team bass fishing is still buzzing after the MLF Patriot Cup, where Jake Lawrence and Alton Jones Jr., rocking the shad minnow imitations, proved that sometimes you don’t need high-tech sonar—just a sharp bait and a gut for the water. And you gotta love a tournament that comes down to the last cast—Dean Rojas and Takahiro Omori made a leap in the final period, fishing the wind-lashed banks the old-school way, while John Hunter and Brandon Coulter landed a 5-pound, 10-ounce lunker—that’s the kind of drama that keeps us glued to the water.If you’re a fly caster thinking about bass, don’t count yourself out just yet. Some of the biggest fish are caught on subtle, wiggly patterns that look like an injured bluegill. The best advice? Fish the edges, target the shade, and keep an eye on those grassy flats—you might just be setting the hook on a new personal best while the conventional folks are still tying on their Carolina rig.That’s a wrap for this week—thanks for listening to Artificial Lure. Don’t forget to hit the water, take a buddy, and tell your story in the tackle shop line next time you’re in.

Artificial Lure here, coming at ya with the latest and greatest in the world of bass fishing across America—where the hunt for big green, bronzebacks, and legendary tales never takes a break.Let’s kick it off with the news everyone’s been buzzing about: up in Wisconsin, the B.A.S.S. Nation Championship showdown on the mighty Upper Mississippi River has been absolute fire. Local hammer Nick Trim keeps proving nobody can outsling him in his own backyard. Even a fog delay—four hours of staring at mist—couldn’t shut him down. Trim pulled a five-bass bag Friday weighing 16 lbs, 9 oz, making his three-day haul a beefy 56-9. He’s fishing deep wintering holes and slow-dragging jigs, and the cold snap seems to have the bass stacking up where savvy anglers find those little 4-to-16-foot ledges, points, and ‘hard spots.’ Pro tip: if you’re chasing cold water bass, pay attention to temp drops and subtle depth changes—just like Trim does. This spot ought to be on every bucket list according to the locals—it’s proven itself again as a legit trophy destination.Elsewhere in the Midwest, east-central Wisconsin’s Cloverleaf Chain has been pumping out largemouth action as fronts roll through, with anglers hooking up just outside weed edges and chasing bait schools on the daily. According to Outdoor News, the fall bite is strong and weedlines are still holding fish even as water temps start to tumble, which makes it a top pick for those who love finesse and precise presentations.Swinging over to Georgia, it’s prime time for bass fans. The state wildlife team reports fall fishing is at its peak, thanks to cooler water revving up big largemouth, spots, and even shoal bass in rivers and reservoirs like Lake Weiss and West Point Lake. West Point’s shallows are popping at sunset as schooling bass chase shad up to the banks—if you’re eager to watch surface blow-ups, toss a topwater like a Pop R or white buzzbait at sundown. Shallow crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and Rat-L-Traps are getting eaten on roadbeds and secondary points. For anyone with a soft spot for fly fishing, this is the time to throw oversized streamers at actively feeding bass. Trust me, if you catch the shad migration, it’ll scratch that streamer itch in a big way.Let’s not forget Massachusetts, where Moores Pond in Warwick recently gave up an absolute unit: a largemouth bass topping the scales at 7 lbs, 13 oz. Over on the Chicopee River, a catch-and-release largemouth stretched a whopping 25 inches, putting it among the top fish in the state’s annual leaderboard. These New England spots hold their own against southern giants, so if you like exploring new waters, add these locations to your road trip.A glance at the tournament circuits shows there’s plenty of high-stakes action ahead. Major League Fishing (MLF) just revealed the fall run of Team Series Cup events—starting August 24 and rolling into late November. All the big names will be battling, so if you love watching live streams (or want hints on new techniques), keep your eyes peeled. You never know what surprise tactics a pro duo will drop on a new lake—could be the next trend in power finesse or strategic shallow punching. On the habitat front, scientists in Maryland are turning heads with research published this year—they’ve confirmed just how crucial submerged aquatic vegetation, or SAV, is for keeping bass populations thriving. Good news for regulars on the Patuxent and Potomac: these rivers support Maryland’s booming black bass scene, with over a million fish caught a year. The state is fine-tuning tournament practices and slot limits to protect spawners, and aerial surveys make sure grass beds aren’t getting trampled during restoration projects.The other news? If you’re itching to target something different, blue catfish are exploding in numbers. No creel limit for cats over 22", so you can help the ecosystem and fill your freezer all at once.That’s your weekly rundown from Artificial Lure—remember, bass fishing never stops evolving and the next bite is just a cast away.

Hey anglers, Artificial Lure here with the latest scoop on what’s been going down in the world of bass fishing across the United States. Whether you’re chasing largemouth in grassy coves, going after monster smallmouth on rivers, or scouting for your next honey hole, there’s plenty of action and some fresh news to keep you tying on new flies.Let’s kick off with the big tournament buzz: The 2025 Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship at the Upper Mississippi River has been packed with drama and some seriously chunky catches. Wisconsin local Nick Trim has dominated so far, hauling in over 40 pounds across two days, topped off with a jaw-dropping 6-pound smallmouth. This dude knows the river like his own backyard, and it’s giving the out-of-towners a run for their money. Some say the key is landing those “big brown fish” – smallmouth that give each cast a heart-thumping payoff. Bassmaster.com has all the leaderboard drama if you want to watch the blow-by-blow.For the local hot spots, here’s what’s lighting up the radar.- Upper Mississippi River (La Crosse, WI): Crowded? Yes. Worth it? You bet, especially with Pool 8 producing heavy bags despite loads of boat pressure.- Prosser Creek Reservoir (CA): Shore-bound anglers are seeing the best action as the boat ramp is closed, but bass keep stacking in coves at roughly 10 feet. Plastics, jigs, and crankbaits are working for steady catches.- Lake Isabella (CA): Reports are flooding in about an excellent bass bite with clear water and cool temps. If you’re anywhere near Kern County, the bite is hot and heavy right now.- Southwest Oregon: Galesville Reservoir is serving up quality largemouth, and the Coquille River is putting out decent striped bass, especially during early morning or dusk.- Cape Cod/Elizabeth Islands (MA): If salt is calling your fly, estuaries and bays are still loaded with blitzing bass feeding on piles of peanut bunker. Reports from Salt of the Earth Sportfishing say XL bass are mixed in if you work the tide and avoid the jet skis.- Connecticut/Rhode Island: Slot-sized and bigger bass are surging through the rivers, especially sheltering from autumn winds – a prime spot for river fly fanatics.In the science and conservation corner, Maryland’s Department of Natural Resources just published fresh research on largemouth bass habitat and catch-and-release mortality. The gist? Healthy underwater grass means healthy bass populations. Bass thrive when there’s tons of submerged vegetation – it’s like nature’s nursery and buffet rolled into one. Take away the green stuff, and catches get sketchy unless anglers dial back mortality rates from catch-and-release. If you’re a fly fisher invested in the long game, this is a good reminder to treat the water and your quarry with respect.And let’s not ignore the invasive drama: Blue catfish continue to be a threat in Maryland’s tidal rivers. These big predators are moving upstream in winter and mobilizing come spring. Fishery scientists are tagging and tracking their movement to strategize better control, while a pilot project is underway with commercial harvesters to pull out more of these river-faring cats. An interesting side note if you like tuning into fishery politics.For those who chase trophy bass, the formula this week is pretty classic:- Big baits = big fish, especially around fall’s dying weed beds and migrating bait balls.- Cover water, hit the structures, and if the bite slows, change up your presentation or move spots. Don’t babysit a dead stretch.- Early morning light and sunset periods are clutch, especially in rivers with active striped or largemouth bass.There you go, anglers; a little tournament drama, a healthy handful of hot spots, and some research updates to keep you sharp.

Hey Bass Nation, it’s your insider on the reel, Artificial Lure, bringing you the latest scoop on what’s hot, what’s weird, and what’s downright legendary in the current world of bass fishing across the good ol’ USA.Let’s kick it off with a headline grabber from Tennessee—Kevin Drake’s monster 10.22-pound largemouth out of Chickamauga Lake. This wasn’t just any ol’ big bass. Drake hauled in that tank on October 18 during the Chattanooga Bass Association’s Classic, but here’s the fun part: it also shot him to the top of the Bill Dance Nationwide Giant Bass Open leaderboard. According to Wired2Fish, not only is Drake now the front-runner, but if the catch holds, he could sweep monthly and yearly honors—and scoop a seriously juicy prize haul. All that from a $45 entry into the contest. That, my friends, is the fish story we dream about.Competition heats aren’t just about personal bests, either. This week, Wisconsin’s Nick Trim threw down a 21-pound bag (including a 6-pound beast) to snatch the Day 1 lead at the Mercury B.A.S.S. Nation Championship on the Upper Mississippi River, as reported by Bassmaster. Even in chilly fall conditions, these pros are stacking up respectable weights, with plenty of schooling bass packing the river’s main channels and grass edges. The Mississippi remains a fly-angler’s playground in autumn—with fish smashing poppers and jerkbaits in that shallow flow.Speaking of hot spots—if you’re itching to get out there, Lake Seminole down in Georgia is firing on all cylinders this October. The latest fishing report says topwater lures, crankbaits, and especially spinnerbaits are crushing it right now as aggressive bass chase shad schooling in the shallows. The vegetation is just right, the water’s been stable, and that classic topwater bite is non-stop, perfect for those who love the thrill of watching their fly get inhaled at sunrise.Meanwhile in Alabama, the Folds of Honor Patriot Cup on Lake Wedowee just wrapped Elimination Round 1. Team O’Reilly’s Dustin Connell and Jacob Wheeler absolutely dominated with a wild 64-pound haul anchored by Wheeler’s 2-pound, 15-ounce spotted bass. The real lesson for anyone dreaming of tournament glory: these guys matched their baits to the resident shad with precision, throwing downsized swimbaits to mimic the hatch. Right time, right place equals a livewell full of bass and maybe some inspiration for your next lure choice.For all you boundary-pushers, Bainbridge, Georgia keeps building its legend as a major bass destination, now boosted by its latest pro partnership with Major League Fishing. Locals claim the “Bass Capital” title, and major events keep rolling through town, so if you want to stalk trophy largemouth on classic structure and friendly southern waters, put Bainbridge and Lake Seminole on your hit list this season.Finally, on the science beat, striped bass fans are seeing mixed news. According to the latest Maryland DNR report, Chesapeake Bay’s striped bass reproduction is still struggling below averages, despite better numbers than recent years. For those fly rodders who love that salt-fresh transition zone, managing these populations is going to be key, and new catch limits may be on the horizon.Bass fishing this fall has been all about chasing the action as temps drop and shad pour into the creeks. Whether you’re a lake hopper or a river junkie, now’s prime time to hit those grass lines, main river points, and shallow wood with your favorite swim flies or topwater bugs. There’s time for a few more heart-stopping blowups before the chill sets in for good.Thanks for tuning in to another spin around the nation with Artificial Lure—your go-to AI tackle box of bass info.

Hey bass buddies, Artificial Lure here, back with the latest scoop on bass fishing from coast to coast. If you’re an angler who likes a little adventure and maybe to see a weird bass story or two before your next fly fishing trip, you’re in the right place.Let’s kick things off with a wild one: Whiskey Riff just ran a story about a kayak tournament angler, Casey Reed, who stumbled upon two largemouth bass doing what bass do best—trying to eat big and getting in trouble for it. Both fish got locked jaw-to-jaw, the bigger one trying to swallow the smaller, and ended up stuck, floating and helpless. Call it nature’s version of “bit off more than you can chew!” Reed managed to separate the pair, but the odds for that greedy bass weren’t looking too hot. Shows just how aggressive and unpredictable these green giants can be.Now, if you’re looking for recent jaw-droppin’ catches, tournament circuits are dropping big news. Chris Muniz recently took first at Lake Travis in Texas, hauling in 93.25 inches of bass—that’s just inches shy of 8 feet of pure, wriggling fish—and walked away with a healthy payout. Colletto Creek gave everyone a tough time, but the hot Texas scene means big bass and big drama almost every weekend, especially with the Texas B.A.S.S. Nation ramping up for their State Championship on Lake Lewisville.For the folks in Georgia, Altamaha River’s been solid—recent reports mention 25-bass days with several chunky 2-4 pounders, perfect when you just want steady action. And over on the West Coast, Portuguese Cove and Lone Oak areas of the San Luis Reservoir are heating up, with boiling schools of bass making it prime time for topwater and fast retrieves. Local guides are hyped about the action, so if you like casting until your arm’s sore, San Luis is worth a stop.If conservation’s your style, major kudos to Responsible Anglers United for tossing 32,000 Florida Bass into Louisiana’s Lake Bouef to help the lake bounce back after nasty storms. That’s a lot of new fish for local anglers to chase, especially ahead of next spring’s Big Bass Rodeo and Fishtival in New Orleans—the oldest freshwater bass rodeo in the country, running March 28, 2026.Looking ahead, Michigan bassers could see some changes with a proposed closure on catch-and-immediate-release fishing during spawn season in a handful of northern lakes. The Natural Resources Commission is weighing amendments to help protect spawning fish, which could put the brakes on early season action for catch-and-release purists, but it’s all in the name of keeping populations healthy.Hot lakes this year? Bassmaster’s 2025 Best Bass Lakes rankings still crown Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and California as the most reliable spots if you want a chance at true trophy bass. But don’t overlook Wisconsin or smaller ponds—sometimes the local honey holes deliver 5-pounders that’ll make your week.On the tournament side, the National Professional Fishing League is bringing in more big-name pros to grow the sport (and up the competition). They’re doubling down on grassroots anglers too—it’s not just about headlines, it’s about keeping the door open for fly casters and weekend warriors willing to grind for top spots. If you’ve got the skills and want to jump into the circuit, now’s the time. New deals with Bass Cat Boats mean more bonuses at every event, so your shot at glory comes with some serious perks.Quick tip for those hitting new waters: Bass Forecast Bait Advisor is dialing in location-based recommendations powered by big data and AI, for everything from bait selection to bite windows. Plug in your zip code and get a tailored read so you can maximize your next trip—even if you’re just walking the shoreline with a spinning rod.That’s the round-up, fish folks!

Hey bass heads, Artificial Lure here bringing you the scoop on what's hot on the water this week. If you think the bass scene’s quieting down with fall rolling in—think again! The bite’s sizzling, records are dropping, and spots across the country are lighting up like a school of shad on the surface.Let’s kick things off with big news from Florida. Craig Cavanna just took home the win at Harris Chain of Lakes this past weekend, wrangling a sweet five-bass limit for a hefty 14.39 pounds anchored by a chunky 4.67-pound largemouth. That kind of bag has locals eyeing the Harris Chain as prime October water, especially with weather cooling and the grass lines holding schools of hungry greenbacks. There’s chatter that spinnerbaits and topwater frogs are making a splash down there, so pack your fly rods with some loud poppers if you’re headed that way.Now for the tournament diehards—Upper Mississippi River in La Crosse, Wisconsin is buzzing as the 2025 B.A.S.S. Nation Championship takes over this week. The fields are stacked and conditions are classic Midwest autumn: crisp, breezy, and loaded with fat river bass feeding up for winter. Reports from Mercury and Bassmaster insiders are pegging the shallow sloughs and current breaks for both largemouth and smallies on chatterbaits and big streamers. If you’re after multi-species action to scratch that fly itch, La Crosse is a must-visit as the stripers and rock bass are showing too.For you college fishing fans, the AFTCO Collegiate Bass Open just wrapped last weekend on Lake Dardanelle, Arkansas. Over 280 teams battled it out, with Carson-Newman University clinging to first place in the national standings—though University of Montevallo is nipping at their heels, with only 35 points separating them. Dardanelle’s grass edges and flooded timber proved tricky, but plenty of teams exceeded 3,000 points, and buzz in the forums says the shad migration has the bass feeding shallow. Don’t sleep on the college circuit—these kids are bringing innovative tactics and plenty of fly crossover, especially targeting suspended fish on intermediate lines.Where else is hot right now? According to Bassmaster’s “Top 10 Best Bass Lakes of 2025,” places like Lake Fork, Texas and Clear Lake, California remain legendary for both numbers and giants. But watch for dark horses—Lake Chickamauga in Tennessee is quietly putting out double-digit fish, and Guntersville, Alabama is seeing some bonkers fall evening bites. Anglers are threading big streamers and sparse bucktail jigs to mimic dying baitfish, a trick any fly angler should put in their arsenal.Want something a little offbeat? Urban river fishing is exploding: Columbia, South Carolina’s Saluda River is holding solid numbers of largemouth, spotted bass, and striped bass, with savvy city anglers landing trophy fish on fly poppers and streamers evenings after work. That’s proof you don’t need a truckload of tackle or a trip to the country to hook into serious action.And don’t forget, fall marks the start of prime fly tournament season throughout the Carolinas. The annual fly fishing tournament kicks off October 25th, with fresh water and even saltwater categories for those who dabble in reds and trout when the bass are slow. Word from Carolinasportsman is that this year’s turnout is looking huge, so shake out those six weights and prep some foam bugs.That’s the rundown for this week—a country-wide tour of bass madness, stellar catches, and plenty of reasons to keep your flies wet and your ears open.

Artificial Lure here, and the bite is HOT across the country as October marches on! If you're all about chasing big bass and swapping stories on riverbanks or those wind-blown lake shores, grab your rod and tune in, because this week the bass scene is jam-packed with action, records, and secret spots.Let's kick things off with some recent eyebrow-raisers: New York's Southern Tier Bassmasters just wrapped their season with a bang at Sodus Bay. Wade McClurg hauled an impressive five-fish largemouth limit weighing 18.44 pounds—his anchor was a chunky 3.86-pounder, and rumor has it Charlie Prince’s monster 4.98-pound smallmouth nearly needed its own photo shoot. If you’re east of the Mississippi, right now lakes like Sodus Bay and the Erie/Niagara system are prime for both largemouth and smallmouth. For you fly anglers, that crisp fall air means shallow flats and rocks are brimming with aggressive smallies ready to chase streamers and poppers.Down south, Texas keeps living up to its lunker reputation. Possum Kingdom Lake recorded a white bass catch of 3.57 pounds at 18 inches by Ed Harper in late January—those deeper reservoirs are popping with fresh records practically every month. According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, hybrid, largemouth, and striped bass are chewing, especially as water temps drop. For those who like covering water with flies, the schooling white bass and surface-hunting stripers are prime pickings during their frenzied bait ball chases.West Coast folks, Nor Cal Fish Reports and the Lovely Martha charter out of San Francisco are all about limits—10 limits of striped bass landed on a recent October morning, plus a solid load of catch-and-release action and a sprinkle of halibut for good measure. San Francisco Bay is producing, and with the seasonal tides, striped bass are cruising up river mouths and estuaries, gorging on bait—ideal for both conventional and fly approaches if you want some drag-singers.Now, what’s new and interesting? Over in Virginia, striped bass (rockfish to the locals) had an average year class according to William & Mary’s Batten School & VIMS juvenile survey. It’s solid news for the future, with these young fish hitting “keeper” sizes in a few years and providing hope after a bumpy stretch of low recruitment. Regulatory tweaks should make for even better seasons ahead, as they rebuild stocks across Chesapeake Bay, so watch for those fall blitzes; perfect for sinking a Clouser Minnow near river grass beds.Tournament-wise, the Redfish Cup Championship is about to go down in Port Aransas, Texas, with top Bassmaster Elite Series pros crossing freshwater lines for salty action. The cool twist? These bass gods are leaving the lakes and bringing their finesse to bay flats—talk about swapping spinnerbaits for crab flies. The action will be broadcast live so you can follow along with every weigh-in and clutch hookset.Want to get involved? Clubs all over the U.S. have open events. The Long Island Kayak Bass Fishing crowd is stacked with autumn tourneys in New York and Connecticut. Whether you push a drift boat or paddle a kayak, these community-driven comps are always a blast, and everyone’s welcome—even if you’re new to the game or prefer feathers over plastic worms.Hot tip for next week: As water cools, bass transition to deeper structure and bluff walls, but sunny afternoons still push big ones shallow. If you’re chasing trophy largemouth, a recent Texas study on big-bass lakes highlights “forage diversity, low fishing pressure, and healthy vegetation” as the magic trio. Scope out smaller public lakes with good grass beds—don’t overlook hidden gems!That wraps it from Artificial Lure this week—big fish, big news, and plenty of fresh water optimism.
