Fish24/7 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 The weather was excellent, and the fishing was fun ! We caught lots of bass everyday but it wasn't easy. Fishing coves and creeks from Pontiac to Theodosa we found a good shallow bite. Friday they were up in the cover Saturday we nothing happening. .. We threw lipless and shallow running cranks to get bit. Sunday Saw lots of shad in the shallow cover this time. Picked up spinnerbait and got plenty of bites but they were all smalls We moved out deeper and tried the cranks again, nothing. Tied on a 1/4 oz. football jig and drug it around a little deeper in 7-10' and got bit. WT was 79 early rising to 82 by mid afternoon.
Quillback Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks for the report. Did you get many bites on tubes? I might head over to Table Rock this week and thought about trying a tube.
Fish24/7 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Posted September 16, 2013 After flipping every creature bait in the boat w/o a hit. A tube is what they wanted. A 4" in Smoke Purple ,Texas rigged. Also about 95% of the bass we caught were largemouth along with a few spots. Not 1 smallmouth.
Quillback Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Thanks, I'll make sure I put some tubes in the boat.
Diamond City Fisher Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Thanks for the report...time to get out there.
Members abbfish Posted September 17, 2013 Members Posted September 17, 2013 I saw a post last week by a guy who dives out of Diamond City and he said the bass were shallow. I got to fish the Bull on Sunday from 11am until 4pm. I caught 5 smallmouth, all shallow. Only one was a keeper at 3.75 pounds, my personal best!
Fish24/7 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Posted September 18, 2013 That's a good brownie abbfish ! Congratulations
