Not particularly, but I have to fish when I can

OK for the specifics, the water level was way down, as low as I've ever seen it. The weather was in the lower 70's and partly sunny. I was a beautiful day to be on the lake, just not the best to catch the fish. Water temps were 60-62 dpending on where I was. Wind was blowing pretty steady around 15 MPH all afternoon. I fished from 1:30pm to 5:30 pm. I caught 2 other bass that were over 12" but were not bigger than 12.5". I caught seven dinks to go along with the seven over 12" for a total of 14 bass. I worked the laydowns, and points, and saw no fish schooling all day. I worked cranks, jerk baits in both shad and craw patterns with no bites at all. I pitched Baby Paca Craw's in Green Pumpkin Candy with a 3/16 oz bullett weight pegged mostly, and worked a all white spinnerbait, which were the baits I caught all the fish on. They all but the biggest one, came from 4'-10' of water. The 15" bass came off of a brush pile in 2 feet of water, and was the only real hard strike I got all day, the others were just picking up the Paca Craw, of just kinda hitting the spinnerbait very easy(I even put a trailer hook on), I actually had several fish just bump the spinner, and not take it I missed about 3 fish on the Paca, one that felt heavy, and I don't know why I missed them, good hookset, sharp hook, no line breaks, just no fish. It was really nice to get out and fish, and I tried to find the bigger fish, but just couldn't get any to bite. Most of the fish I picked up on my fishfinder were 15'-17' suspended in the middle of the lake. I actually tried jigging a spoon, and weighting a suspending rogue to get it down to them with no luck. I also Mojo-rigged quite a bit with 4" worms, and 6" lizards with no takers all along the main and secondary points. Glad I got a limit, just disappointed with the weight. Here's the fish totals in no particular order.

1. 14.5 L X 9.125 G = 1.60 LBS
2. 12.5 L X 7.50 G = 1.00 LBS
3. 13.5 L X 8.25 G = 1.25 lLBS
4. 12.5 L X 7.25 G = .94 LBS
5. 15.0 L X 9.5 G = 1.78 LBS

Total weight was a measly 6.37 LBS Easy to beat with 1 fish, but it was what I got. I did have mechanical problems with my outboard and couldn't get it running, so was limited to where I could fish. I didn't fish where I really wanted to, but that's the breaks in tourneys.

Nice Fish, Lizards

A little bit jealous! I saw the first snow this morning.

Any way, on the last pic, I saw bunches of lures mess up together?

Fish 1: Length: 16 inches Girth: 10.75 inches
Weight: 2.293

Fish 2: Length: 13 inches Girth: 8.5 inches
Weight: 1.197

Total Weight 2.293 + 1.197 = 3.490 lbs.

A little disappointed in my catch(s) but overall im happy! right now i have the biggest bass i think, but i will not be surprised if it is broken? I caught them on 4" Finesse worms in black!

Sorry guys I missed those comments when reading this. Yeah I have a tendancy to just put cranks down, when switching out to a different one on my boat. As for never seeing those, well one is a D-BaitThinner one in shad with green), made by Gary Dees, a gentleman I fished with on my very first ever tourney, who lives in Ohio, and has a good reputation for cranks. Another one is a Mann's -1 in Grey Ghost Ghost. The jointed ones I actually got from my father, and have always been his favorite. I thought they had been discontinued, but found some this year still being made. Red Devil I believe is the manufacturer, but are called a Sparkletail. I have caught some good fish on them, I just haven't really used cranks too much until this year. The lip is part of the bait, not added on, and is a medium to deep diving crank. One you see is chrome/blue, another is white, the other is Black/Silver. There is also a Rocket Shad, which is the small spinnerbait looking lure in Chart/White. If I missed any let me know.

Nice fish RRW! thats a fat 2 pounder. I hope I can win. I'll catch 5 1 1/2 pounders hopefully. Even though I know it won't cut first place.

does my bass count as big bass??? i have a picture of it in the forums, dont know the exact wheight.

[foxworthy]

i say you should get big bass if no one comes close to your wheight mr kh.
i saw it, nice fish, too bad you forgot about the tourney

[Fishie]

I got one that is over 4 so we will see. Guys I am going to send my pictures to Reb cause he can get them up. It might be a day after it is over.

I caught all my fish today on a watermelon zoom super fluke, most were tight to cover near deeper water. I had one that would have been my 3rd largest but he managed to make the freedom flop before I could get the tape measure out.

[Fishie]

Too bad you didn't bring it enough. I got over 14 pounds buddy! Rodman good day anyhow. I got one that is 19 inches too. Reb just has to get my pictures up.

[Fishie]

Total weight 14.734pounds


I fished my tourney back on the 5th of the month. I fished from 10:30 to 2:30. It was partly cloudy out and the wind was really blowing because a front was moving through. I started out fishing a orange and black rattletrap and I started fishing a grass flat right next to the deeper grass flat where I won the last tourney. I burned the rattletrap through the grass and I would rip it out like you are suppose to and I got hit first by the 19 by 13 momma. I fan casted some more and popped the trap out some shoreline grass and was struck by the 18 inch bass. I fan casted and covered the flat quickly without any takers. I spotted a leave covered cove in a pocket and started fishing it with a small clear sparkle colored spinnerbait and was crawling it through the leaves when it was jacked by the 17 inch bass. It was like a explosion under the leaves. The feed was on. The conditions were changing very rapidly and it got really dark out fast and the wind stopped. I couldn't get anymore on the spinner up shallow. I decided to hit a brush pile in about 10 feet of water that I know on a creek channle and I fished it with a watermellon tube. I connected with the two 16 inchers off this brushpile. The fish were not active really at this point and a slower presentation payed off. While I was fishing the tourney I saw another guy fishing with a spinnerbait while I was fishing the brushpiles and he didn't get anything the whole time. I guess I made a good decision. I used 15lb Cabelas mono line in brown color for the tournament. I switched out the front hook on my rattletrap to a red one. I Fished with BPS Extreme Reel and Pro Qualifier reels on Woo Daves extreme rods. The weight I used on the tube was 1/4 ounce. It was a solid day. Didn't lose any fish either the whole time. I am getting good at landing those babies.I really didn't get to fish the way I want to all the time. I like to fish worms but I knew I had to fish a rattletrap or something fast to capitalize on what was left of the morning bite. I am more of a worm kinda guy. I can fish all kinds of baits though. I really don't have a weakness or anything I don't know how to fish.

[Fishie]

PnG's Tip on bass teeth came into play also. THey were feeding on baitfish and that is why I fished the trap longer and decided to throw a tube instead of a sweet beaver. Rodman I see you got big bass buddy!

[zooker]
