Bass report 6/6

[Skeeter ZX190]

Put in at 1:30 pm at the ramp out on the main lake past Orleans Trail and fished from the dam to State Park. Caught 25 fish total but some may say I only caught 15 because 5 were drum. You get penalized for catching drum. lol

I did have 3 keeper bass and lost a 4 to 5 lber when it jumped and spit the bait back at me. Water temp was 78 to 80 degrees. Caught my fish mainly on main lake and secondary points. 6 to 18 feet of water. More largemouth than smallmouth this trip. Caught everything on a 1/16th ounce Ned in green pumpkin.

As was stated in another post, it was downright hot out there until about 6:00 pm.

i guess the fish are trying to get out of the hot water too lol!! I've lost more quality fish the last two times out than all spring combined. I can't keep them down to save my life especially on longer casts with an underspin and a swim bait. I'm going to try 20lb braid with a flouro leader and a med heavy rod with a moderate fast tip and see if that helps. Went out this evening just before dark but didnt get to fish very long before i had to pull a stranded pontoon boat from point 4 to mutton creek. It was a mess the guy thought mutton creek was orleans trail and didnt even know what or where the kill switch was on his boat and didnt have a bow light. anyhows i had a keeper eye barely 15 before our good deed and two keeps just south of mutton afterwards. we got off the water around 10:30. thnx for the report skeeter sounds like you still had a pretty good day on the water.
