Competition.  The name of the game in late summer and early fall is competition with all the bait in the lake.  Bait has exploded in most lakes across the country and you are trying to feed a group of fish while they sit at a Golden Coral full of bait.  It's a tough time of year but there are still plenty of opportunities to have great productive days on the water.  Snap jigging a variety of baits is a great way to make your baits stand out and scream "I am dying...come eat me"!
