Anthony Denny caught the state record bass on New Year's Eve of 1992 at Natchez State Park. Did his 18.15-pounder raise the bar too far?

Winter is lunker time

It was a warm winter’s day, the last one of 1992 in fact, when Anthony Denny saw the telltale sign of a big bass making a feeding run on some shad in a cove on the lake at Natchez State Park. […]

Hitting dying vegetation with a spinner bait is a great shallow water technique in the fall, as Elite Series bass pro Pete Ponds demonstrates.

Bass moving up, following shad

Fishermen love hunting season, especially those who do not hunt.

“Means a lot less traffic on the water,” said Gene Turner of Jackson, who loves bass fishing on Delta oxbows and Barnett Reservoir in October and November. […]

For a long time Davy Hite stayed away from creeks with lots of bait, but he realized those were actually the ones he should target because so many bass head there to feed.

How to pick the best creek to fish

So how is it that on most reservoirs in the south, one or two creeks stand out in October and November as the places to be? Is there something about those creeks that make them the places to become Autumn? […]

The lake has some vegetation, ideal structure and topography for great fall fishing and a good population of bait fish. There’s not a more exciting way to catch a bass than watching the bass blow up on topwater lures. […]

In a study done by Eric Dibble and Thad Huenemann, prey capture by bass was measured at different levels of turbidity.

Seeing clearly

Turbidity negatively affects fisheries. It reduces light penetration and reduces the production of algae that is the foundation of the food web. Eventually the fine silt particles that make water turbid settle out smothering organisms that live on the bottom, turning hard bottom areas into soft muck, and eventually filling in reservoirs. […]
