Hey bass maniacs, Artificial Lure sliding in with the freshest report on America’s bass fishing scene, and if you like tossing flies or bouncing jigs, you’re in for a treat. The past week has been buzzing all across the country—let’s dip into the highlights! Starting off hot, the Santee Cooper Fall Final went down in South Carolina and, man, was it a barn burner. Jonathan Sutton and James Gibbons weighed in five bass totaling a whopping 22.07 pounds and also nailed the biggest fish of the day at 8.49 pounds. For late November, that’s pretty epic—shows Santee Cooper's still a heavyweight when it comes to big largemouth. Meanwhile, over on Lake Eufaula, Alabama, the self-proclaimed Big Bass Capital of the World, folks are still slinging spinnerbaits and catching chunky largemouth. This place breathes fishing: from the iconic “Manny” bass statue to the local bait shops and BBQ joints lined with tournament trophies, Eufaula is where legends are made and giant bass survive your wildest stories. If you’re chasing personal bests with a fly rod—think big poppers at dawn near submerged trees—Eufaula could be your next stop. Tournament anglers from the Major League Fishing tour are still riding high after wrapping up fall competitions at Kerr Lake and the James River. Over at Kerr, Tommy Marrow and Dennis Reedy landed five bass at nearly 20.32 pounds, and on the James, Brian LaClair flipped jigs for a five-fish bag of 18 pounds, 13 ounces. The James also coughed up a 7-pound, 11-ounce monster—serious bragging rights, especially if you’re used to casting streamers for smallies. For folks thinking beyond tourneys, lake reports nationwide keep showing promise. Iowa’s DNR said largemouth fishing is “excellent” if you work spinnerbaits and swim jigs around dying weed edges and rocky cuts in backwaters. And for you multispecies fans, check out spots like Argyle Lake in Illinois or Navajo Lake in New Mexico, where bass are hitting and the occasional kokanee or saugeye spices things up. Hot tip for gearheads: Major League Fishing is capping forward-facing sonar to two units per boat next season, leveling the playing field for everyone. If tech isn’t your thing, old-school fly tactics are alive and well—just mix it up with big streamers or surface poppers for explosive strikes in the shallows. In other news, North Carolina anglers, heads up! Starting next week, you’ll need to report any keepers of popular species, including striped bass, whenever you take ‘em home. The new rule aims to tighten management and keep the fishery thriving for all of us. Sounds like a small price for sustainable action and more big bass days. That’s all the juice for this week—record catches, wild tourneys, bonkers hot spots, and a sprinkle of rule updates for good measure. Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure's Bass Report!
