Short July 9 Report

[rps]

I fished about three hours yesterday after the thunderboomers cleared. It was still lightly raining when I went out. Just because, I fished topwater for an hour. I've often done well on dark days. Not yesterday.

I switched to dark plastic crawfish imitators (berkley sabertail, beaver, netbait pacacraw tubes) on jig heads and caught four bass (three spots and one LM) and one walleye during the next hour and a half. None would measure although every one of them was close. I tried to make the walleye longer but he wouldn't budge off 17.5. All came off 3 main lake points when I threw the jig outside of the tree line and dragged down to 20+ feet.

I was going to fish a fourth point, but had to tow a skiboat back to its dock instead. As I wrote in techo's thread, I have used up my nice for the year. Cave canem.
