Once again had a great morning at Bremmond.  The heat was tolerable with overcast skies and light breeze.  We fished from 6:30am to 11:30am, and caught 25 bass up to 4 lbs, with 3 culls.  Didn’t have much luck with topwater/frogs or wacky worms.  But they liked the spinnerbaits in the timber, and the rattletrap in the open water between the trees and the launch.  Not much luck along the side of the lake opposite from the launch or the dam.  

Now, about the Dragonfly Olympics:  As usual in the summer, there were hundreds of dragonflies flying along and skimming the water surface.  But here’s something I’ve never seen while bass fishing:  From mid-morning on, we saw at least 30 bass all over the lake, of all different sizes, make enormous jumps to catch the dragonflies.  We both agreed that some of the fish jumped at least 4 foot out of the water, and some jumped at least 6 foot in length, to get themselves a little flying morsel.  Sometimes we were lucky enough to be in casting distance, and we could usually throw whatever we had at the olympic jumper “landing”, and make a catch.  We tried “matching the hatch”, but didn’t have anything that resembled a dragonfly in our tackle box, so we were content to just enjoy the jumping competition.  It was fun just seeing nature in action, and encountering something we’d never seen before.
