Bass Report

[Skeeter ZX190]

Fished the dam area on Sunday afternoon. Only caught about a dozen with 2 of them being keepers. One fish came on a Bomber Model A. Everything else on a carolina rigged green pumpkin baby brushhog. I have a Lowrance with Structure Scan and I had marked a spot last March that I thought would be good this time of year. It is in Orleans Trail cove back past all of the sail boat docks. It is pretty far off shore and the water goes from 10 fett to 20 feet real fast. Caught 5 fish off that one spot with 2 of them being keepers. Not huge fish but still keepers. All in all it was a beautiful day to be out on the water. As the water starts to cool, the fishing should get even better. I went out last Wednesday when tropical storm Hermine was starting to move up from Oklahoma and Arkansas. It never rained on me but it sure looked like it was about to. I caught a 19 inch smallmouth on a pop-r. I then got into the white bass. There were acres of them surfacing and they were busting small shad about 1.5 to 2 inches long. I was over by the quarry close to Crabtree. I was using the pop-r and caught a ton.
