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!!!

Don't fall over that this isn't a finesse report. Today was my first time out with my new set up with Lew's Pro Casting Reel, teamed up with a St Croix Trigon Rod. And just WOW! I was bombing that Crank Bait 50% farther than anything I had in the boat before. What a difference it makes having those baits in the strike zone for a longer period of time! I love the look and action on those 6th Sense Crank Baits!!! Side Note: That bass in the picture got me to my goal of 240 bass for the year....and there's still 6 weeks left to pile on...
