Went out for a night trip, for a chance at some spots I can only hit when the lake is calm in my tiny boat. Turned out to be the only one in the water. Very calm night, air was in the mid 60’s, enough moonlight to navigate by. I used the depth charts on the pro app to locate a series of humps coming up to about fifteen feet from about 30 or so. Spent a few hours pickin em apart with a ned rig, Got a handful of little rock bass, couple nice smallmouth, four or five largemouth, and the one pictured is my new PB. I gotta get a scale….

Cool temperatures and rain have the fish a little behind schedule this year. Covering water with a spinnerbait, as well as pitching into laydowns, have been very effective.

Drifting along rock piles and slowly sinking a wacky rig did the trick today

Worked my way around a flat, maybe eight to ten feet deep, down to dirt. Boat got stuck… Huge grass mat in the middle, worked the edges and anywhere I thought I could swim through. This one hit right after ripping through a clump. Sunny day, little to no wind. Handful more hit skipping under some overhangs, then a couple decent on a ned trd from the bank after I loaded the boat.

Pretty neat little lake, first time going there. Water was all either very muddy/cloudy, or very very darkly stained everywhere we hit. Pulled a few small ones off the reeds on the bank, one or two nicer ones a little farther out in a flooded brush line. Brother caught a nice largemouth in what appeared to be a flooded bog. Shorter trip, spent the whole time we were fishing in two feet of water or less. Bottomed out every couple minutes. Chilly, breezy, not much sun, fairly late in the evening.

Caught a handful of dinks, smallmouth and largemouth. Then a nicer one of each as well before we left. Water was chilly, pretty murky water for the most part. Lot of rain the past few days so everything’s kinda swamped. Fairly sunny, bit of wind. Hit almost all of em in some pretty thick stuff. Got my first pike too, a fish is a fish, I was pumped. He was prowling around a bunch of crappie cribs. Same lure the entire day on two lakes.
