rps Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Because the cloud cover delayed dawn I wasn't on the water until 5:30. Nothing on topwater today. Zero. I started fishing a C rig fish doctor in watermelon seed. Before the clouds blew out I had ten Spotted Bass in the boat. Two or three jumped off and one broke off on underwater trash. The fish were shallow - 12 to 17 feet -and feeding on or next to points like Stubblefield Branch, Sawmill, and the point next to 86 bridge. Only two or maybe three would have been legal, but I had a great time anyway. Didn't get a bump when I went trolling for walleye.
powerdive Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 We didn't find any walleye today either. However, my son-in-law did catch his best bass to date whilst we were trolling for eyes. 22", sleek and healthy. No idea what a bass that size would weigh, but quite a thrill for him. Caught at 31 feet on the edge of a flat between Eagle Rock and the power lines.
rps Posted July 14, 2008 Author Posted July 14, 2008 22 inches is a serious fish. Certainly larger than anything I have caught this year or last. The charts say 6 to 7.5 depending for 22 inches. Tell him I am envious. rps
