Drop Shot Fishing Smallmouth and Largemouth Bass on Lake Belton
October 17, 2024 - Lake Belton, Belton Texas
Drop Shot Rig and Texas Rig fishing plastics for bass on Belton Lake in Central Texas. Recent Flooding then receding water levels had us looking for new spots. We found quite a few largemouth and smallmouth bass in the evening, but nothing very big. The bite was really good in to the night and we stopped around 9PM.
Baits:
Strike King Dream Shot (KVD magic/green pumpkin)
amzn.to/3YbRXDy
Strike King Rage Bug 3.5 and 4 (Green Pumpkin, California Craw)
amzn.to/446E63d
Camera used:
GoPro Hero Black 9 with the hindsight feature

      Big fan of the pearl fluke this time of year. The green pumpkin rage bug works all year texas rig or with a jig. This time of year I'd hit cove points and inward on the less steep rocky banks with sand. If you have good electronics there are some good flats by westcliff and temple lake park tht have yielded some nice largemouth.
