It was a very good day.

We put in at Hartley today looking for a top water bite.  My partner was using a frog and I was using a Whopper Plopper.  We had one blow up on the frog then nothing else.  Spinnerbaits could not get a bite either.  After close to an hour we switched to bottom baits and the catch was on.  We used a variety of baits (jigs, craws, worms, and the little guy)  in a lot of colors.  We fished swags, pockets, straight banks, main lake points and secondary points to the south of Rouark.  We caught at least 1 bass every where we stopped.  We wound up catching 75 bass with 13 keepers and one really nice kicker.  We also had 2 nice walleye.

Great day and nice kicker. That picture makes me want to play hookie at work tomo  The bottom baits are really catching fish lately.

I think I saw you Dutch.  I was eating lunch at State Park marina around 2:30 pm.  Did you stop there for a brief moment?

No we stayed on the Big Sac all day long between Hartley and Mutton.

Boat was in about 11 fow and I threw the little guy to the back of a pocket so I'm guessing 4-6' maybe some shallower.  We found no fish on the bank.  They seemed to be from around 4- 15' deep.  We did not really fish deeper than 15.  Several fish were caught parallel in front and behind the boat.

I’m excited just seeing her thanks

The fish were very aggressive yesterday.  We had several hooked very deep and had to go through the gills to get the hooks out.  It rarely happens to me with worms or Ned but it sure did yesterday.
