Mincy Area 9/28/19

[Seth Clarkson]

Fished around Mincy on Saturday. It was a nice day to be out on the water, lots of cloud cover, cooler temps and a nice breeze. Caught a dozen bass, only 1 near keeper size but a lot of 12 inchers. Saw water temps between 77 and 79 by the time we finished. Didn't have much luck inside any pockets, main lake bluff and points/entrances to the coves were the best places. Tried topwater with no luck and the ones I caught were on a tube or swimbait. There is still a ton of gar in one of the pockets, figured there was a lot of bait and might find bass around them, but couldn't tell for sure on the graph and didn't catch but one, and hooked what I assume was a gar that I didn't get to see on the swimbait. It felt like it was bobbing its head up and down and didn't act like a bass before it came off. 

Kdock looked to be under water still just in case anyone was wondering. Didn't check to see if you could put in off the road or not.

Got out again this weekend, didn't do as well but found some on a point and some inside the pockets. No size still. Had 2 on that seemed like better fish but didn't get them in. Saw one that looked to at least be a keeper. Not sure why but I'm either missing the better fish on the bite or not in the right area. Struggling with that this year.

Better fish will start showing up more and more this time of year, it's going to be a great Fall  bite ,good luck!

I'm guessing you're too deep right now honestly.  I've been hearing that the fish are very shallow on Bull right now.  I know that all of my keepers on TR last week came in under 8 feet of water and all on moving baits.  I'll probably hit Bull tomorrow and will report back if I make it down there.

I couldn't get bit shallow weekend before last. Had a few very small bass shallow this weekend but I'm talking under 10 inches.

Weird.  I talked with a buddy earlier that said that they smoked them in that area in the rain on Sunday.  All pretty shallow and some on a buzzbait.

I threw a Whopper plopper but not for long and only when there was some chop, with no bites. Also threw a tube and a small swimbait. Tube caught them inside the pockets, and swimbait on the point.

There was a lot of boats out on Saturday I assume those running all the way up the lake for the fishers of men tournament and I think there was another tourney also.
