I fished this property from 7AM until 4PM and caught 29 and probably missed about 4.
- 24 were under 14”
- 4 between 14 and 17 “
- 1 over 17” (2.1 lbs)
Conditions:
-Water temp: 74-80
-Air temp: 60 at 7AM
-High probably 98
- Water: Clear to 3ft
Lures that produced:
- Chart. weighted fluke fished early and near stumps: 7 total (I caught the 2.1 lb on this lure)
- Deep crank (blue//chrome): 9 total; fished fast the in deep water
- Med. crank (tiger pattern): 5 total (fished also deep shore line)
- Silver rattle trap: 5 total (fished very fast)
- Hard jerk bait (5-7 ft) (black/silver): 1 total
- Med. crank (blue/chart.): 2 total
Lures that did not work:
- any top water
- swim bait
- chatter bait
- shallow crank
The fish population looks very healthy and I saw many groups of small schooling bass and bait fish. The bank to the left of the launch point gets to 20 ft very quickly and I caught several in that area. I also had probably a 5 lb chasing a smaller bass I caught on the rattle trap. Most of the bites were very aggressive.
