Fellows (updated Friday 22)

[Ämp]

My friend and I took a trip to fellows the 19th . 2 barely keeper largemouth and 1 muskie of 30 in. for myself , 1 keeper and a few smaller large mouths for the other guy. everything was took in 3-8 ft of water on crankbaits. I lost faith in top water in the first hour but i would think it's getting close. tried spinerbaits and some brush hogs with no luck . vegitation with a good drop off near by provided the best fishing . use chrome or a prismatic perch color on sunny days, darker less vibrant colors on overcast. We will be going back friday in hopes of a lil better topwater action (my favorite) with the water on the fall and the color getting clearer. I would suggest chrome spook , buzz bait (if the water still has alot of color) if you like top water. Fellows has never been a favorite of mine but being laid off from work has some what forced me to look at cheaper alternatives. If anyone has a good suggestion for bass fishing fellows I'm all ears ( or eyes in this case) not having much time there has made it difficult to zone in on the fish so any help would be much appreciated.

using ol' faithful til one of you old timers come off the secret of fellows

Topwater lovers hang in there, I found many more bass staying in the weed beds today ...All day ... in fact I seen more boils than a dermatologist . took around 10 bass in all , only 2 were of legal length but still one of the more enjoyable trips to fellows thus far.

found a few in the back 40 but most were in the clearest waters of the lake right off the main body . Shallow crankbaits seemed to get a few strikes but nothing held my attention better than jerking away on that spook and watching them rise.Had more than one good strike on plastic worms but all in all i would still suggest hanging to a bank 14 -20 ft deep ,spot fish with a spook in the weed beds and keep a good jerk bait or crank bait around for the deeper holes.
