Fishing with Steve On a Smokey Night

3.75lbs Bobby's Perfect

Sumo's non-magical brother Buddha

6:00-9:30PM F Flat, Reeds Across N & S, Inlet to Cookie Jar
74-82℉, Haze/Smoke, 2-4mph ENE

Steve wanted to come with tonight, so I stayed close to start hitting the Reeds across the way first. Actually, I started outside the reeds and got a bass on my very first cast on the Blitz Frog. I missed a couple of blow-ups in the reeds. I pulled out of the reeds and got a couple of nice Plake Lake Specials on the FireCraw eBay ChatterJig. I then went and picked up Stever. We went and worked the South Reed Line across the way. I got one Platte Lake special and a pike. Steve missed a bite of two. Then we went to NPLD Pt. Reeds & NPBI. I think I got a 2lber and a pike off the PT, and Steve missed a couple of bites and got a Platte Lake Special as well. Then we went to the center rice in Inlet. Steve got the big fish of the night there. I was trying to get that stupid Snagproof Kicker Frog knocked off my 2021 Frog catches a bass list. I missed a couple of good opportunities that I wasn't ready for but eventually got a small bass against the rice wall. I erased the scale thinking I had taken a picture. I think we had 15-something for the night, so we were getting quality bites.

Steve: 4 Bass 5 Pike
Me: 6 Bass 5 Pike

Great Morning On Unexpected Water

4.93lbs Boze Sumo Frog

Sumo the Magic Toad

 

3.52lbs Plopper 130 (MonkyButt)

3.63lbs Bobby's Perfect

19.46lbs Best 6

5:30-9:00AM NPBI, NPLD Pt. Reeds, Guy's Bay, B.B. Point

64-72℉, MS, 0-4mph SW

I started by dropping a 2lber on the Plopper when it jumped and got off at NPBI. I got a wild hair and decided to give the reeds across from there a try and was rewarded with the 3.53lber on the Plopper. I worked my way around the reeds missing a couple of blow-ups. Finally, I got back on plan and headed to Double Cane. There were some blow-ups in the bay, so I thought I would check it out. The rice and weeds looked excellent, and there was baitfish and some biggins. Got the 3.63lber out of the scrub weeds and the 4.93lber out of the rice. I picked up a few more fish off of both ending with a two and a half off BB PT Cane in the pads. I thought I was going to get back out in the evening but wasn't up for it. Not a bad morning on water; I normally don't pay any attention to at all.
