7am-12

had some company along today and they wanted to go to Big Creek. Not a ripple on the water.

 

 bass were chasing on the other side of the lake so we made a bee line for them. He tied on a white frog and a small prop bait and I went with the black frog and custom shallow crank that has been catching them pretty good the last few trips . I was fishing way back in the thick cover in shin deep water while he focused on the outside edges. We both had a bass in the boat by the fourth of fifth cast. Stayed in one general area the entire time. We caught 27 largemouth total all 10-14"  except for 1 in the upper 3's class. All released.

8/29

9-11am

hit the pond in Big Ck. for a couple hours mid morning before I had to get back home and smoke some ribs. Very little surfacing activity but I managed to catch 2 keeper spots, and 10 little lm with one of those maybe 15" ,all on frogs. Color didn't seem to matter  I got bit on green,black,white & yellow.  I didn't get the 2 bigger bass I had hooked in the boat. Broke 50lb braid on one when it wrapped me up in some junk, and the other fish I hooked behind a row of buck brush and it came off when I tried to pull it over the limbs. They were both in the 3lb class. Didn't see as much shad as last time. Water is dropping fast! Where we were catching them Sunday is now the bank. C&R

I'm starting to get the hang of Summer fishing again. For YEARS I never really fished much in July and August during the daytime  because I was working full time all the time. Now that I'm my own boss I've fished more daytime trips this Summer than I have in the last 5+ years and  I thank God everyday for these opportunities!

Everyone have a fun and safe weekend!
