Ämp Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 the bite is light , the wind is heavy and the sun is a cooker.perfect... thats what I was grumbling as we put in 2hrs late today , with the wifey in tow armed with the camera I was determined to show some proof of these great bass I have been catching for the past few weeks . It turns out I was in luck the dinks were in hiding and the monsters were out to play.. obviously these are no trophy bass but what more can you expect from a 800 acre lake that is notorious for skunking most. these bass are still very shallow and very timid.. soft plastics are still producing very well , motor- oil worms , spinerbaits , and some topwater..if numbers is the game stay with the plastic worm or crawdad. If your looking for size stick with a spook.. same as last report for the most part [attachmen t=6560:Summer_09_009.jpg] [attachmen t=6566:Summer_09_016.jpg] that last one there is 5lbs others never dipped below 2-3lbs..... talked to everyone I seen ,no one else had the gumption to drive strait onto the weed beds ,they also didnt have a 17lbs bag in 3 hrs ,most had caught little to nothing and were not receptive to the fact that these fish were REALLY really shallow ...get in the weeds , there is almost nothing that can hurt your prop on those flats and its the only way I have found recently to put numbers and size in your boat. good luck , btw I noticed alot more people on south side of the lake ya'll starting to believe me ?... lol .. I dont mind just make room for me .
Ämp Posted June 20, 2009 Author Posted June 20, 2009 just noticed the date on the camera need to figure out how to set that .. O well the rattle snake.. i mean marina lady can vouch for me she has a polaroid of the 5'lber dated on the wall .. all were caught today the 20th. .
et84 Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Those are some nice fish! We were gonna fish out there today, but we're goin' tonight instead, my brother's burnt pretty good from a float earlier in the week, and the sun woulda cooked us in my little jon boat.
