Ned rig fall fishing a 21lb sack on a small lake on an off shore hardspot. The fish were not on the small rock pile but were actually on a sand spot about 20ft from the rocks. Once we fan casted around the rocks i had marked on my 360 and found the sweet spot. We landed on em @connerhjohnson! #bigfishbullies #largemouthbass #smallmouthfishing #bassfishing #largemouthnation taken in Minnesota by @ben_gepford

Finding isolated rock out in the middle of a mud bottom lake is an oasis to bass. This day I found a small rock pile in 17ft in mid October with my @humminbirdfishing side scan and used my 360 and spot lock to stay on em for perfect casts. Bait ofchoice was a @zmanfishingproducts evo 1/2oz chatterbait.

Last boating trip of the season was Saturday. The last month has been ridculous with multiple 70+ fish days and alot of good size fish. Ended the boat season with some thick bluegill eaters. Water was 46-49 Had to fish super slow 15-22ft but the bite was steady. Deep isolated rock was the ticket. If you dont fish in the fall you are missing out on the best time of the year for all species imo. Hopefully a couple yak trips in the near future for smallmouth before it freezes up.

Wanted to get on some smallies so i decided to hit the river and stuck this big ol fall river pumpkin at 4-15. Not a common size out there so felt good getting her in the boat.

38F Monday morning and 20 mph winds but stuck it to them! Took a few hrs to find em cuz they werent on my way points. Did some new scanning and fished outside the waypoints and landed on them. Bass Mafia zaldangerous swimmer, blade bait, chatterbait and ned rig did all the damage. 15-22ft. Most came around 15ft. Only a couple trips left in the boat atleast.

Some ppl hunt in the fall. I keep fishing till it freezes up. Empty boat ramps and big northern strain largies. Chatterbaits, 6xd and binsky blade bait did the work. #bigfishbullies #bassnation #bassfishing #fallbassfishing #hunting #fallfishing #fishing #fishingislife #fishingpics #rangerboats #minnkota #mercurymarine #aftco #reellife #reelfishing #upnorth #fall #fallishere #gameday #getoutside #getoutdoors #gotem #piscifun by @ben_gepford

Every fisherman knows the "PLEASE DONT JUMP STANCE". This 5lbr was stuck in 22ft on a @greatlakes_finesse underspin on 8lb test line making me nervous!
