9/9 Evening in Coose

[Blll]

Decides to spend an evening casting and went to Coose Hollow about 5-8pm. WT still at 85. Cast poppers at docks and shoreline down the west side. Would up with 5 spots but none over 12". The bluegills were really aggresive along most of the shore til about 10' out. Usually hit popper before the first move. Also very hot on any plastic thrown. Wound up hooking 5 really nice ones just under 8".  Ate em'. Bass all came from docks. Saw a surface bite about mid-cove in the middle but only lasted about 5 minutes and was over by the time I slow trolled over. Drop dead beautiful evening. Lake pretty quiet. Watched a fox along the shore for a long time and a beaver swam so close he splashed water in the boat when he finally spooked. Really a nice night.

Good report. I always seem to struggle with poppers. I bet with the cooler weather it should really heat up.
