7/6 and 7/7 Pt. 21 to Campbell Point

[dwiebenga]

Wt. 82-83

Clarity: 4-6 feet

Primary Locations: long flat points with Shad (8-20 ft)

Baits: topwater, swimbait, and football jigs

Found Bass early in the morning starting at dawn.  The bite in early lasted until 8:30-9:00.  Fish seemed to be running in small packs or singles.  Did not find a large school, but they were pushing 2-3” Shad. Fan casted or targeted fish that were aggressively pushing.  They would hit the bait immediately and might give you 1-2 opportunities to hook up.  The fish were a mixed bag of spotted bass and smallies ranging from 12-15 inches (just fun to catch).  I also used a 3/8 or 1/2 oz Football Jig to target fish lower in the water column, and the jig scored my biggest fish of the trip.  Overall, caught 20-25 fish total.  Not bad for my first summer trip in a number of years.  Best part of the trip was seeing my grandma for the first time since winter 2019.  We spent close to 6 hours just catching up.

Great report, Dave. And glad you got some catch-up time with Grandma. :)

Super. Thanks Dave. 

Looks like some pretty fancy gear up on the bow😁

Still not sure how to use all that fancy equipment.  Every trip I try to learn something new.
