Strike King pro Clark Wendlandt highlights typical bass patterns in Zone 2 during November.
With water temperatures in the 60's, Wendlandt encourages anglers to drop a line near rocky shorelines and in vegetation. November is also the time when anglers will notice fish transitioning from their summer patterns. You can find them on main lake points, and you can also begin to track fish moving into creeks chasing baitfish.
If the water is clear, Wendlandt prefers the Natural Shad. In stained water, he switches to the TN Shad 2.0. For muddy water, Wendlandt will favor a Chartreuse Perch.
The KVD 1.5 is perfect for shallow water, power fishing. The squarebill design and unique “hunting” action will constantly emit erratic movement while still running true.
Wendlandt’s choice for clear water is the Green Pumpkin or White, while he opts for White or Black if the water is stained. In muddy water, Wendlandt prefers the White.
Strike King’s Skip’N Buzz is specifically built to help anglers target out-of-reach fish in places where few baits will go. The Super Toad trailer is perfect for fishing around shallow cover for the optimal buzzbait pairing. For a slimmer profile, try a Rage Swimmer on the Skip’N Buzz.
He opts for the Natural Shad in clear water, and switches to a TN Shad 2.0 if the water is stained.
The curved bill of the 3XD causes faster and deeper dives, making it a top choice in Wendlandt’s line up.
If the water is clear, he will throw a Green Pumpkin, while more stained and muddy water calls for White.
Thunder Cricket is an ideal choice when fish are chasing baitfish around vegetation. The Blade Minnow trailer allows efficient movement through grass, while some favor a Rage Swimmer or Rage Menace.
He opts for Green Pumpkin Craw with a Rage Craw Trailer in clear water. If the water is stained, he will throw the Blue Craw, while he will switch to a Watermelon Craw if the water is muddy.
Designed to be the ultimate jig for skipping under docks, Strike King Tour Grade Skipping Jig is built with a super strong and sharp Gamakatsu hook for strong hooksets and resistance to bending when fished in hard cover.
