Big M area 6/14

Got out on the water with board member Hammertime today.  We did the usual early launch, got on some top water fish early, which again lasted for about a half an hour.  Tried the Keitech for a while, but the fish had pretty much vacated the Keitech spots that had been working for me.  We got a couple on the swimmers, but it just wasn't going to happen.

Threw jigs for a bit on chunk rock and bluffs, we got a few doing that, but it was slow.  We then tried some gravel with c-rigged Trick Worms and started getting consistent bites, but mostly 10-14" spotted bass with a couple of keepers.  We did not get real deep off the gravel, getting most of them in 10-15 FOW.

We ended up with about 45 bass total, mostly shorts, maybe 6-8 keepers, but not a one over about 16".

Water temp was 82-84.  Water still a murky green color with a few feet of viz.

Quill, still making lemonade out of lemons. Sounds like you kept grinding and it was a decent time.

Yeah Mike we had a good time, but there was a time late in the morning where it was hot, humid and no wind whatsoever that makes a person miss the cooler days of spring.  A little bit of a front came through about 11 AM, that brought a bit of a drop in the humidity and a little bit of a breeze and made things a little more tolerable.

In our younger days we would have jumped in to cool off for a bit when the fishing slowed up. Times have changed a bit for us mature folks, eh?
