Shallow flat...Fall/Winter transition(Texas)

It has been a warm Fall Transition here in Texas and Night fishing is picking up

 

So far the key is to find the water that warms up throughout the day and hold that warmth into the night...

 

The area I'm fishing is a BIG 3-4 Acre flat (1-6 foot deep)...The outer perimeter of the flat tapers to around 12-14 foot.

 

The back of the flat is highly vegetated with dying lilly pads and hydrilla...Vast areas of shallow water around a foot deep with dense vegetation heating up really good throughout the day (Vegetation Pic)

 

The big ones are moving up on the flat and hanging around till the sun comes up...

 

I have had the best luck on my homemade swimbait...It's weedless rigged with a weightless 10/0 hook adding 3 lead strips.

 

Tonight is almost a full moon and the conditions should be perfect to catch a big one.

Wind: 3-5 Mph and a LOW of 50 degrees tonight

 

Water is 61-68 Late in the day in the shallows

 

I plan to fish all night-Sun down to sun up

 

IN THESE CONDITIONS-WHAT WOULD YOU THROW???

 

Thanks for the input

Nice looking home brew. I’d agree with the wake suggestion. Something big and clacky like a rat, slammer, or anything in that flavor. I’m here in the lone star state too and hitting the lake this weekend to toss wakes in the timber and creek channels. Trout planting is happening soon too! Like thanksgiving for bass.

Dudes- I went weedless and 9in Slammer on and off from 6:30pm-4am (The night I posted this)

 

2 light Bites on the 7in Weedless and no hookups *NO FISH

 

(next day-Saturday) Fished 9am-3:30Pm *NOT A SNIFF!

 

(Friday) My buddy in the boat caught 6 on the Keitech 4.8 Fat (Biggest 5.3)

 

Kills me how effective the little freaking Keitech is...

 

I was being stubborn about picking it up...

 

I regret I never tied one on...

 

-and to help with the math (16 hrs NO fish for me)

 

Just the way it goes-Gotta keep grinding
