Weekend report

[Granny]

Andy J and I got out early saturday morning. Water temp was 50 and the air temp was 30. It was cloudy and snowing on and off. We boated around 10 fish all under 17". The fish were up tight to the shore near deep water. All fish came off spinnerbaits.

Sunday the temps were up a little and wife and I caught 12-13 bass. The wife landed her biggest bass yet at 20 1/4"! I still have her beat by 1/4" which may be due to the fact that I was doing the measuring . I ended up with two bass that were a little over 19". All the fish were caught on spinnerbaits off of deeper weed lines in 5-10 feet of water.

Anyone else get out this weekend?

Yes both days Alot of bass all came off of tiny cranks(the size used for panfish). The fish were on the deep drops i.e 4- 20 feet some came shallow but the bigger ones were deeper.

Fished yesterday morning, caught about 8-9 pike and a couple decent bass- both around 3.5lbs. All on spinnerbaits. Thought to myself if the bass are hitting at this lake that I should try my big bass lake. So I loaded up the boat, hit some fast food, and then started working my spots. Nothing, nothing, and more nothing, was just about to call it a day, when something caught my eye. It was quick and out of the corner of my eye but I swear I saw a big black tail of a bass pushing his way back down in the slop. Hit the spot with a rubber worm, fish on! A skinny 21"er that weighed out at 5.1 lbs. This fish would have been really nice if it was healthy, but I'll take a 21"er any day.

Duffman,

Congrats on your 21"! I still havn't hit that mark but maybe this fall yet.

Thanks Granny, she didn't look all to healthy, almost like she was at postspawn or mid-summer weight. Not the plump fall bass body that you would expect this time of year. But 21" is 21", now is the time of year to get that personal best, good luck.

I was out Friday morning at my favorite spot. It was cold, raining, and windy. Fished parallel to the shoreline slow rolling a 1/2 spinnerbait in about 3 feet of water. Caught 8 bass in 1 1/2 hours. They were holding close to submerged logs and brush. Biggest weighed in at a little over 5 pounds. The smallest was around 3. All the fish had nice weight to them. Also missed 2 big ones on a black and blue jig with a green Yum chunk trailer. One broke my 14lb line and lost my jig. It was an awesome morning though. Went back the next morning, and absolutley nothing. It was nice to get in a little bass action again before it got real cold. Seems like everybody had some nice action this weekend.
