Bass Report, 9/18

[Lifes2Short]

I should have said "Bass Report, 9/21. Out of Mutton and on the water about 6:30. Could not find anything yet in the back of creek's so we fished main lake points all day. Ended up catching about 50 with 6 or 7 keepers. Best 5 would have gone 11 lbs. Caught some nice smallies today, Kentuckies, and a couple short Walleyes on the wind blown points. Shakey heads and a few spinnerbait fish seemed to be the ticket. Bluebird skies, 15 mph N. winds, 75 degrees. Headed up later today to see if we can find some crappie. Tight Lines!

Thanks for the report. I haven't been there for a couple of months and have been wondering what was happening. They should be moving into the coves before long. I hope to get down that way maybe on Thursday. I assume the points were the steeper ones. How deep would you say the average fish was holding?

Back up yesterday afternoon out of Mutton. Tried to find crappie but with zero luck, talked to other crappie guys who were skunked too. Ended up bass fishing points in the twin-bridges area. Caught about a dozen bass with 2 nice keepers and one Kentucky that went 14 & 7/8" and was as round & fat as the ones at T.R. Almost all the bass we have found over the past 2 trips have been on chuck rock in 12 to 15 FOW. I bet we have also caught 6 or so walleye's that were in the 12 to 14 inch range, seems a bunch of them that size are around this time of year. Tight Lines!

I'm heading down that way this am. Planning a bit of top water in Son's, then some jigs, etc on points.

Fished this am. Caught a few on spooks. The rest were on spinnerbaits. I couldn't get your main lake points to work for me. We caught 18 lmb with 8 keeprs to about 2.5 #. Never had any big fish on or caught any eyes.

What type of banks were you fishing? Main lake or coves? Thanks Dutch!

We spent much of our time up in Son's Creek using tops around timber. Some of the spinnerbait fish came off main lake points and some off secondary points. We couldn't catch anything back in the coves and they should already be there.
