Largemouth Bass
TechniqueFinesse JigsSeasonSummerStructureSubmerged VegetationThe bite was tough but managed a few bass. Side note, remember this is a catch and release bass fishery and a slotted limit for northern pike. Read the signs at the launch. This is also a non motorized gas engine lake. Makes for a very peaceful lake to fish and canoe/kayak in. The bass very very finicky, and wanted nothing but slow moving wacky rigged worms. Biggest bass of the day was a 17.75” bass and smallest was 14.5” bass. A few crappies were caught by other anglers going after bass. Also managed a couple small northern pikes using moving baits such as a chatterbait or tandem spinner baits. Water temp was around 78 degrees, water clarity was good at around 10-15 feet visibility.

TechniqueFrogs/ToadsSeasonSummerStructureLily PadsI caught some pike and small bass around the weed perimeter using ned, wacky and tubes. Friends caught larger bass in the lily pads using a frog. That was definitely the ticket for bass this evening.

Northern Pike
TechniqueInline SpinnersSeasonFallStructureSubmerged VegetationLake Ann holds lots of pike. Fall has always been a great time to target pike there. This past weekend, I used Z-Man Chatter baits with Rage Craw Trailers and Spinnerbaits to get excellent numbers of pike in my kayak. Burning these blade baits through and over vegetation triggered reaction strikes.
