cambell point night fishing 4-5-15

[merc1997 Bo]

put in at big bay just before dark, and did not venture outside of big creek very far. results were 18 keepers, with one in the 4 lb. range, and two in the 3 lb. class. the rest were all 16 inch bass. only caught 5 or 6 shorts.

best two lures were 1/4 hair jig with spring lizard pup, and a 3/8 rubber jig with a big flapper trailer (similar to zoom super chunk). depth of bite, for the most part, was 10 to 15 feet deep. caught a few off on the main lake banks, but most came from the coves.

i know that one would think with 18 keepers that the bass were just tearing the bone out, but that was not the case. all the bites were that were what i call "the next to nothing" bites. simply like stuck on a rock, or the jig felt like it fell off of a two inch rock, and some could be detected by a very slight side ways movement of the line. and obviously with the depth of the bites, these bass were not up on the bank in a real feeding mode.

forgot to mention that we had the boat back on the trailer at 1:45. so, we fished just about 6 hours.

Sounds like a great night of fishing. I wonder if those Mill Creek night tournaments have started yet?

Looks like the first Mill Creek night tournament is this weekend.

You have had some very productive trips lately Bo. I think you have them zeroed in.

Amen to that. If I was on 'em like that, I'd pony up and fish the derby Friday night and Saturday too if they still have both.
