A wet summer should translate into more bass throughout our pristine backwaters. With the amount of rain, our rivers are staying flushed out and keeping the thick vegetation green and healthy. September usually brings with it the start of shrimp migrating into the lower river marsh. This occurrence may be later this year putting a different spin on fall patterns. There is simply little to no saltwater baitfish in the four river systems along the coast. Look for bass to be targeting more freshwater bait like bluegill and the abundant fiddler crab. Trying your favorite topwater lures on that perfect cloudy day in September may be the wrong decision, if the bait choices stay to a minimum, A jig or soft plastic bounced along the bottom may produce more strikes with the amount of rain keeping the saltwater species pushed out.
