> What: Bassmaster Central Open
> Where Sam Rayburn Reservoir (Jasper, Texas)
> When: Thursday through Saturday (Sept. 10-12)
> What they’re saying: “The water’s low and dropping; it’s like everywhere in the South,” said Bassmaster Elite Series pro Keith Combs, who makes his home in Huntington, Texas, on Rayburn’s northwest side. “September is just a tough month to catch fish and Rayburn will be no different. It’ll be a grinder. There’s also way more pads than we’ve had in the last six to eight years. We had a resurgence last year; I’m glad to see them back. Frogging is definitely a good way to catch them in the pads. We also have a ton of peppergrass and you can catch them on frogs there, as well. There’s also a lot of fish schooling in open water right now. That’s what makes it so tough – you can’t really chase those fish around because they suspend. I think the entire lake will be in play. There will be guys catching them in creeks and rivers, there will be guys catching them out in the middle of the main lake from one end to the other. Who knows where it will be won.”
