New spot!

MallenManson · 07-18-09, 10:31 PM

I was sittin home bored, so I decided to put the boat in a couple lakes I'd only ever fished from shore, with Godawful results, I might add.
Turtle Lake-10 minutes from my house. Sissy Pads on one end, Sissy Pads on the far end. Color me back on the road.

Bass Lake Jr- 20 minutes from my house. Not the one I was rained off on Friday.
Circled 3/4 of the lake and was angling toward the boat launch when I decided to check out what appeared to be a cove in the 1 part of the lake I hadn't checked. Lo and behold, real pads!
Got a couple blow ups on a Bobby's Perfect Frog, but no hooksets until I lit into this 3 1/2. Only about a foot deep in there so he came out of the water, 3-4 times before I got him in the boat.

I'm headin back in the morning

Just hafta figure out when they're back in there I guess. Or just keep hittin Little Platte! lol
By the way, checked out the channel that flows from Little to Big this last weekend. It's so shallow I didn't make it very far lol. Bogged right down. Had to raise the trollin motor up and stand in the bow just to get back out
