Pic of my Brother-in-law on Lake X(another way of saying secret).
It's fall and the Largemouth Bass were on Fire. This whole lake's perimeter was lined in undercuts. Some had pads out front and shallow ledges but all around there was at least 1 foot of water below the reed mats. We caught numerous fish this size and some bigger too. My brother in law cast spinner baits along the outer edges/dropoff and i was flipping the bank with creature baits.
Every time we went there, we got Largemouth Bass over 3 lbs, and a few times, over 5lbs. Great little private lake full of Crappie, Sunfish, Largemouth Bass and even a couple bruiser Pike(over 10 lbs) Man i wish we could still get in there but alas, properties sell and owners change.

Two things about knots in monofilament fishing line: they can slip out, and they can break. Several knots can be used to avoid these hazards, but the simplest for small hands to learn is the palomar. Start with a thin piece of rope or twine and something with a hole (scissors, coffee cup, eyebolt), then move onto fishing line and hooks after the basic process is mastered.

The steps:
Double the line back on itself, forming a long narrow loop; feed the end of the loop through the hole.
Tie an overhand knot (end of loop around doubled line) but don't pull it tight.
Put the hook through the narrow end of the loop.
Moisten the line where the knot is being created; slowly pull the knot tight, and clip off the free end of the line, leaving at least 1/8" of leftover line.
