Beautiful fall day to fish. Slightly overcast, with a slight wind out of the south east most of the day. Water clarity was garbage, which is about standard for the Kalamzoo river. Current was going pretty good as well making the slower presentations pretty hard to fish. First things first, all the fish we weighed were caught on a rat-l-trap ripping around the dock pilings and sea walls. Standard approach of cast it past, and rip/let fall, rip/let fall. A lot of hits near the boat as well. Managed to catch one keeper and one other on a Dark Sleeper dragging it down a rocky shore as well, and a couple dinks on a wacky. We managed first place (11.3lbs) and big bass (3.7lbs).

Water temp 72, wind about 10mph constant, 20mph gusts. Slightly cloudy, but pretty warm. The only bait I caught fish on today was the Rat-L-Trap, but I caught 40-50 Bass, and culled 7 times total. I caught a lot of keepers that didn't help with weight as well. The trick seemed to be ripping the trap through the edges of submerged vegetation. Once the trap popped free of the vegetation, wham. I also had some luck ripping the baits along seawalls and laydowns as well. I went up into Silver lake and found a small hump covered with vegetation that the shad were jumping over where it seemed the bass had corralled them. I sat there and ripped my trap through the edges of the hump and culled 5 times. There were also a TON of pike biting. I caught as many pike as I did bass. I also caught a salmon on the rat-l-trap.

Both largemouth and smallmouth bit was on early afternoon. Nothing more than 2.5lbs but they wanted the bright color Ned’s. Would cast up current and let it come down and they would snatch it.
