What is the best month to catch trophy bass on the lake?

Every month is a possibility. During the colder months, the bass are closer to the surface due to the water temperature making the top water bite the best. Fall is also great fishing on spinnerbaits. The warmer months, plastics, crankbaits and swimbaits are very productive in deeper water. (Call 15 days prior to your arrival for update or check out our website for the most current fishing report).
