Took 5th in the greenhorn Sunday league derby out on east/west rush. Fishing up in the slop throwing buzz toads, swimjigs and chatterbaits. Bite was tough to come by, they really only but from 6-10 am and then the rest of the day was really slow. Top water bite died around 8 am. Popping the swimjig and chatterbait every 2-3 turns of the reel was what triggered most of the bites. Fished were caught in 1-6 feet of water.

The Whopper Plopper size 90 in bone color was a killer bait for pike and bass on East Rush Lake. I fished the far south end of the lake. It’s shallow and has lots of submerged weeds where the bass and pike like to hide. I could see areas between the taller weeds that created openings to pull the top water bait through without hooking weeds on a retrieve. This part of the lake only gets to about 4 feet deep. On this day, the winds stayed low for about 3 hours and thrill of blow ups and catching fish was irresistible. I caught lots of bass, the biggest being the 20” toad shown in the pic. WOOHOO! :)
