Perfect day on my favorite lake. And the quality of fish was out of this world. (That's a 3lb 10 oz beauty in the pic) I had a hard time picking my Hot Bait for this report, because there were several. But I rarely tie on a spinner bait...which may change after this day. I went from point to point until I would see a pinned up school of kokanee up against a point, hit my spot lock and start hauling them in. Usually about 40 feet deep and as soon as my bait would hit the bottom, I would slowly twitch/jerk it back and I would hook up on every other cast. It was fast and furious for about 15 minutes and then they would disperse... then the search was on for the next school. Fantastic day!!!

Another great day at Bullards, with lots of different rigs getting it done. Thankfully, wake boarders are petering out, so was able to stay on the main body all day. Did most of my damage with a drop shot in 25-35 feet of water. The Strike King Magnum was money! However...I've been chasing one of those monster Spots that roam these waters for 3 years now, and I finally got into one with a Wacky Rig Senko in Sexy Shad pattern. Would love to show you a picture...but it broke my line before I could land it...I was so shook up, it took me a good 15 minutes to even make another cast. It had to be in the 7 to 8+ Pound range to fight like it did. Two days later and I'm still replaying what I could have done differently to land her...UGH!!!

In my never-ending quest for a Big Spotty at Bullards, I forced myself offshore using techniques I'm not super confident in. But this day, I made some progress. No monsters, but had some fun pulling in fish at 30-40 feet using a shakey head, loaded up with a Strike King bullworm. When I got that first hit, I was so pumped!!! I spent the day using my mapping to fish extended points. It took some patience for my shakeyhead to get down to the bottom. But once it was there, I hopped and popped it, and when those spotties hit it, what a blast getting them up and into the boat! Ya just have to give it a try!!!
