I wasn't planning on fishing today, but the weather conditions changed my mind. It was overcast, cool, and very little wind. The forecast thunderstorms were called off. I was on the water on Sullivan Lake a bit after 4PM. I tried hitting some docks first and that did't produce anything but I got a 16" bass on a Zoom Super Fluke in some old weeds from last year. I then got a pike, before having the Fluke get bit off.
I started throwing a Zoom Horny Toad and got a 15" bass on that and a small pike. I missed several hits as well.
Then I moved to the PRO area that I fished on opener. It was dead calm I got a small bass on the Grass Pig then I had a pike break my hook on the Grass Pig as it came into the boat. It was dead calm and the water was 59°F so I started throwing my chartreuse firetiger Stanley Phantom (Spook) and promptly lost a good fish. That is what I threw for the next couple of hours along with a Paycheck Baits Repo Man. I caught 13 fish doing that dumping all of my bigger bites. A little wind came up and that seemed to hurt the bite. I tried throwing a spinnerbait but that didn't play. At about 9PM I hit "the juice" at the River mouth and got my last couple of fish on the Phantom.
All in all it was a fun night. If it weren't for the motor issues I'm having I would have gone into Platte Lake. I need to see the Chiropractor tomorrow for my upper back.
