Ämp Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 Took alot of big bass all day . There are alot of 3-5 lbs bass just sitting in the weeds waiting for , plastic worm , spinnerbaits or even a topwater lure to come by so they can smash it to pieces .The way they were hitting all day in the shallows on anything you threw made for great fishing .Walleye were being taken on crank baits as we fished from cove to cove ,try staying 8ft or so with a shad-rap around the inlets of these coves for some keeper walleye. spinerbaits should be fished very slow , cast in the weeds...not at or around or next to ..this simply wont catch them..CAST into the WEEDS fellows has virtually no structure so your safe to pull the motor up and get those lures back, just make sure you keep a paddle to get back off the bank w/. let spinerbaits fall to the bottom before retrieve ,plastic worm should be pulled over the weeds and then let to fall as soon as you see a clear spot . as always light prismatic colors on sunny days and darker colors on overcast days ..now is the ideal time to catch the biggest bass .. take it slow and pick the bank apart .any live trees or weeds should be first priority.. good luck .

Sounds like you did very well. Fellows seems to skunk me every time I have tried for bass. Congrats.
Ämp Posted June 7, 2009 Author Posted June 7, 2009 I have been fishing fellows alot lately because im laid off from work and it is the cheapest alternative ..so i have gotten a real good chance at finding what the bass are doing and the "phase" i think they are in. If you would like to split gas w/ me , I would be more than happy to take you out and show you what works. .
Fly_Guy Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Amp - you were taking walleye at fellows? I've heard they're in there, but never seen one caught. Was the bite consistant at all?
Ämp Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 well we in all honesty was not fishing for them but instead bass. so I couldnt give a you a answer on how many you could expect to catch while actually walleye fishing , but i can say that we have caught alot of keepers while fishing for bass which leads me to assume that the lack of walleye fisher-man on that lake has made it ideal. I have found these walleye fight like a beast and often think i have a bass on , it's not the normal " o im hung up " strike you have come to expect . almost always taken on crank baits and spiner-baits while in the mouth of coves or on the shallow flats running along the south bank here lately 8-14ft of water seems to be where i get the most of my walleye strikes. .
