Big M area, Sept. 19

[Quillback]

Fished the morning, nice and cool to start, 90 by the the time I put the boat on the trailer.

For me, the slow fishing continues - Caught nine bass, only one a keeper.  Best bait was a Zinker on a jighead and the fish were shallow for the most part.  Caught one bass on a crankbait and that was my one keeper.

Had a double on for a bit.  On the single hook jighead.  I knew that one of them would get off, but I got them close enough to the boat to reach for the net, as soon as I did that the bigger of the two pulled off.  The one that I caught was 13", the one that got off was substantially bigger.  Of course it worked out that way, big one gets off, little one landed.  All in all, it's pretty unusual to get a double on a single hook lure, wish I could've gotten them both in.

WT 77

Nope. straight on a EWG jighead.  How was the Wisco fishing?

That sounds somewhat familiar.  How did the new Ultrex do?

The Ultrex worked well, took a little getting used to.  Man is it quiet, had to look at the bank to see if I was moving, could not hear it like I could that Fortrex. Improved lift assist is nice too.

It was great!   Topwater bite was unbelievable.
