Largemouth Are On

[darbwa]

I have been catching a lot of nice fish in the last 10 days.  It has been a lot of fun catching them on top-waters.  I have been taking my daughter out and getting her fired up about catching fish and that is more fun than catching fish myself.  We will find an active school and catch several in a short amount of time.  As soon as the bite slows, we can fire them right back up with a worm.  It seems to be like that off and on all day for the last week or so.  It seems like the heat of the day has been the best time too!

Congrats on finding a consistent bite. Keep taking your daughter out. Hope that she is a fishing pruner for life! A great way to make family memories.

Thanks for sharing.  See almost zero info ever shared about Grand and every little bit helps the casual fisherman like me.  Can be a tough lake at times.  What general area of the lake have you been fishing?

I also get frustrated that no one talks about Grand very often on this forum. I am fishing South Grand. Generally I stay south of Goat Island. 
Here are a couple photos of my daughter having fun. She has been rubbing it in to her older brother that she is catching fish!

I honestly think not many on here fish Grand on a consistent basis to make a report even. If you want a good report on Grand go to FB and sign up for the grand fishing report on there and lots of people contribute to that page. You can thank me later! lol

I'm on that FB group, but mostly see info on every species of fish known to man except bass.  I just assumed it was due to the tournament scene.  Im not looking for specific GPS locations or anything crazy, just an idea of what is going on.  Of course i'm guilty of not posting when i go, so maybe that's a start....on a side note, i'm curious to know what is considered "mid lake" area on Grand.  Have heard that term a lot, have an idea but just curious what others think

I consider South Grand anything south of Goat Island, mid lake would be from Goat Island to Patricia Island or maybe Sailboat bridge.  That’s my take on it anyway. 
I didn’t fish today but instead boated all the way from Disney to Blue Bluff in Elk Creek and I had a lot of time to think about that classification of the sections of the lake as I was perusing the chart book.

I went out for a bit last night, started about 5:30.  Intended to fish until after dark but a broken trolling motor prop shaft put an end to it early.  Did manage to catch a few in the first spot we pulled up at.  Wind blown main lake rocky point with a square bill.  They were shallow, 2-3' deep.

I had been catching a lot of fish on breakwaters but that bite seems to be slowing down.  10 days ago they were hitting top waters aggressively off breakwaters. I then started catching them on a 7” purple worm and now I am only catching them occasionally on a variety of lures.  I can’t find the right pattern right now.
