Water Temp 72℉

Todd gets a fish on the first cast.

What that the weather and East wind might do had me wanting no part of it, so I went to the reeds across the way.  Turns out it was a really good choice.  Todd backlashed on his first cast.  He was picking it out when the pike crushed his frog.  Todd got another little pike over by the cane.  I cast out toward a line of thicker reeds when the big girl crushed by Terminator.  A few minutes later I had a similar sized fish hit me.  About halfway back it got stuck on a reed for a few seconds, then came loose swimming at me a hundred miles an hour.  I caught up to the fish only to have it jump and spit the frog right in front of me. Bummer to lose that fish so close to getting it in.  Todd and I then proceeded to miss about two more bites a piece in this same general area.  The old muskrat I met yesterday came by for a bit.  I got a 13.5" in the muskrats area.

15.25" Terminator Frog (Yellow)

  Todd finally put a bass in the boat as I was scooting us towards the South reed bed.  The sky got really dark just before 9'o clock. A sprinkled for a bit. I caught a 16.5".  We then had about a minute lull.

3.61lbs/18.25" Terminator Frog (Yellow) 

   Todd then caught two fish then we had to go in due to lightning at about 9:20.

2nd bullhead of the morning first was a toothy

Rain Delay spent in the car listing to the U2 Experience.

Thunderstorms had been taken off the morning forecast, but the weather had other plans.  I arrived at the GOMH at a quarter to 5.  I lost my first two hits.  The first felt like a jumper, but I had a golden fool me once last year when it went full jumper by hitting a topwater and jumping during the fight so who knows.  The other fish hit and didn't hook up.  First fish was a toothy on the Rippin Rap.  The panfish guy showed up a little after 5AM as I was landing the toothy.  I got the jumper then I saw some lightening to the NW.  I got a few dink jumpers on the Gunfish 117 and the new chatterjig I got from eBay.  Then the rain delay happened due to lightning.

15.25" Fatty on the eBay Vet CJ/Swim Fluke (Grey/GP)

I caught the fatty after the rain delay and stayed too long.  It was calm when I left and loading the boat.  By the time I started out wind had come up out of the ENE.  That wasn't the forecasted direction which was SSE.  With the way the wind was, I decided to scrap my plan of going to LSP and start on the north end of the reeds across the way where it was calm.  I missed my first 4 bites or so on the Toad Runner, probably pike.  Then I caught a couple pike.

The bass the muskrat helped me catch
15.25" Terminator Frog

So this big old muskrat swims by the boat and I asked it if it had seen any bass.  It told me it saw some in swimming around in the thick reeds.  I put the next cast in the thickest reed clump I could see and immediately had a bass blast my frog.  That ole muskrat was no liar.  Between the two reed beds, there was a loon just hanging out.  I asked it if it had any tips for me.  It told me to try over by the reed point I was heading for.  I caught a 16-inch fish there.  The wind picked up out of the ESE.  I headed to LSP and it was blowing like a mofo.  I got a couple of pike at the intersection off the end of the point on the eBay CJ and Bluegrass Maxx.  I then anchored my way down the point and got a 16.25" on Maxx.  I missed a few fish as well.  I decided to call it a day and my trolling motor rope broke.  We will call that experiment a failure.  While I was trying to get that straightened out I noticed a rope that would work perfectly just sitting in the bottom of my battery compartment.  Dad must have put it there this Spring for me to use as a backup motor starting rope.  It even has a handle.  As I was trying to fish out the broken section to be able to lift up the bracket it started thundering, so I headed in.  I was able fish out the section on shore but wasn't to keen on fixing things in the rain, so I got my stuff in the car and left it.

16.6" Toad Runner (Sunburn)

7:30-9:30PM Starting Spot, SE Corner Inlet Bay

Conditions: 80-76℉, Partly Cloudy, Windy Windy Windy

Water Temp: 71℉

I had intended to get out by 7 but that trolling motor rope and  a few other odds and ends needed attention.  It was blowing pretty good out of the ENE so I elected to go up to the starting spot and drift West.  I lost a 14-incher as I tried to boat flip it right away.  Other than a couple pike and one good hit that I missed that was it for the starting spot.  The wind switched out of the ESE about the time I got to the Spot.  I then headed to the one place I knew I could get some calm water in the SE corner of Inlet Bay. I got a couple of pike there on the Terminator.  I switched up to the Toad Runner and had the bass light it up.  I was so glad to get that fish.  I drifted out of the corner getting a few pike on the Toad Runner and missing a couple bites as well.  The sunset was magnificent.

Best 6 Bass for the Day

     

Not Much Tonight Either

2.99lbs/17.5" Mad Maxx (Bluegrass)

6:00-6:45PM East of Jenny's
Rain Delay
8:00-9:20PM Some of Don's Docks and Rice East of GOMH
Conditions: 77-70℉, Cloudy to Partly Cloudy light rain during the delay,  Wind from calm to 30 MPH during the delay.
 Water Temp: 70℉

Took a picture of this dock fish in case I didn't get another

The plan was to hit Don' Docks then proceed to LSP and then the Rice East of GOMH.  I made a last-second decision to try the dock East of Jenny's as the sky's to the West looked pretty dark.  I had a couple of pike takes shots at Maxx in the rice.  I worked my way out on the cabbage point and had one really good pick up, but screwed the hook set.  I had trolling motor issues I needed to deal with, so I headed in as the rain approached.  There wasn't any lightning, but the wind really kicked up for a while. I was able to get the trolling motor issues dealt with for the time being.

After the rain stopped and the wind calmed down a bit I headed out again.  I blew a few chances on the docks, but they were mostly empty.  I did get the one dink, which I didn't weigh.  First fish in the rice was a pike.  I then got the 3lber and a 14.5-incher on Maxx and a few pike, but it was really slow.  As it was getting dark I missed a good fish on Maxx.  That really discouraged me and I stopped fishing at 9:20 because the wind was blowing SSE and taking me right out of the rice.

   Hopefully, the forecast warmer weather the fishing will pick back up again soon.

Huh???

That's it 4 Bass in 5 Plus Hours On the Lake

I didn't weigh this 13.5" because I would catch bigger bullheads, not.

I went into the day thinking I had a handle on what the fish were up to, not.  It got into the high 40's overnight and it really shut them down.  I only got the one jumper at the GOMH and lost my last Helsinki Shad to a snag on the far side down in the tube.  The panfish fisherman was on the S side so I bailed to try in the boat.  I wasted a bunch of time getting nothing on West Point.  I then headed to the docks just west of F Flat moving East to F Flat.  I missed a couple of bites on the docks.  I was lucky to land my first bass in the Trophy.  It lit up Maxx when I wasn't paying attention along the rice on F Flat.

2.75lbs/16.75" Terminator Jig (B/R) Craw Fatty (b/b)

I got the one decent bite on a dock and I had a 12ish fish get off as I was boat flipping it.  The cabbage looks excellent on F Flat but wasn't holding fish this morning that I could tell.  I briefly hit "the dock" East of Jenny's and didn't get a thing.  This trip was from 7 to 9AM.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Evening Trip no pictures were taken.

7:30-9:55PM
7:30-8:45 Fishing with Steve to Jenny's
9:00-9:25 Chuck's Point
9:30-9:55 The Juice

So I got out later than I should have.  When I arrived Steve was fishing off the pontoon.  As I was bringing my tackle bags down Steve hooked up with a good bass over by Sherman's.  As he went to lift up out of the water it came off.  It was a 15ish size fish.  He also had a pretty good pike break him off earlier over by Sherman's.  Since my plan was to fish the slop to Jenny's to start Steve came with.  Our execution was terrible on the bites we did get.  Steve missed 3 or 4 and I missed 4 or 5 getting one small bass and one small pike on Maxx.  I dilly-dallied way too long over by Jenny's. When I got to Chuck's Point I missed a good hit right away on the Toadrunner. Not sure if it was a pike or a bass.  I tried the craw tube for a little bit but didn't have any takers. I missed what was probably a pike up by the shore.  I decided to make a move to the Juice.  I got a 12 dink and that was it.  So much for me having a handle on the fish.   

Very Good Night For Me, Not So Much For Steve

3.26lbs/18" Yum Dinger 5" (W/R)

5:00-10:00PM Docks Across the Bay & 3 Loon, NW Shore with Steve
Conditions: 73-67℉, Partly Cloudy, Wind WSW WNW 4-10MPH

16.5" Terminator Jig (Black/Red) Craw Fatty (b/b)

So I started out fishing docks across from our cabin starting at "The Dock".  Actually, I started at the pine tree and got snagged.  I was lucky to get my jig back.  I then got a little pike off of the dock before "The Dock."   I got a 12" off of "The Dock" immediately.  I then had a fish hang me on the jet ski lift on my next cast.  I let the lure stay snagged and cast underneath with a Hack Jig and had a fish pick it up, but drop it before I set the hook.  That was it for "The Dock". I worked my way West and could pretty much call my shot as bass were on the docks tonight.  I came to that realization after not planning my casts properly and missing a couple.  Not every dock had a fish and I put on a minor clown show, but I was catching fish and not getting too frustrated.  It seemed like I would catch a fish and lose a claw off the Craw Fatty.  I had a pike steal my jig by the willow tree.  Then hung the Buzz Toad Buzzbait on the point dock.  I then ran to the point at 3 Loon Flat.  I messed around in the reeds not getting a bite.  I caught a 12 incher off the first dock.  There was a boat coming towards me from just West of F Flat with 3 guys in it.  Apparently, there was a league out tonight, but they were the only bite I saw.  I caught 3 and missed 3 fish before we passed each other.  I don't think I got a fish after I passed them, but I did miss one I think. 

17" Mad Maxx (Bluegrass)

Steve called me back and I went to pick him up.  His report from Jenny's Reeds in the kayak yesterday had me taking us to the NW Bay.  I started out by the big rice patch.  Steve had a bite right away and his line broke.  We got the Bobby's Perfect frog back, fortunately.  It wasn't until we got up by shore that we got another bite.  The 17-incher hit my frog then swim toward me while I had the boat moving towards it.  Finally, I got caught up and was able to turn the motor off.  I then caught a 14.25" and I think Steve missed a fish.  I asked him if we should proceed North or South.  He chose North.  I got 16.25 in the reeds and 17" over by the Pike Bullrushes on the Maxx.  I also got a small pike in the PB. Over by "The Juice" I got 16.25" in the rice on Maxx.  I had a fish wake up to Maxx very dogfish like on dogfish point.  It just nipped at the frog like a doggy as well.  I threw back to the spot with a Yum Dinger and I was pleasantly surprised that the dogfish was actually an 18.25" bass.

3.35lbs/18.25" Yum Dinger 5" (W/R)

I threw back to the spot and immediately picked up another 18-inch fish.  Steve had a fish miss his frog while I was getting the 18's.  I had him throw out a craw tube, but he didn't get any hits on that.  I caught a 16.5" on Maxx out of the rice of The Juice.  Steve was pretty frustrated at this point as I was up on him 10 fish to none.  He had fish knock his frog up in the air, but after repeated casts and nothing he gave up.  I threw over and 17.75-incher blew Maxx Up.  Sometimes that's the way fishing goes.  Steve was skunked for the trip.

3.10lbs/17.75" Mad Maxx (Bluegrass)

   

17.94lbs Best 6 Bass of the Night

21 Bass

6 Pike

My thoughts:  I am encouraged to see multiple 3 plus fish in one trip.  Maybe the post-spawn funk is over.

Ok Morning at the GOMH and Our Bay

Sunrise Weak

4:45-6:30AM GOMH NE
Conditions: 64℉, Partly Cloudy, 5-10 SE Wind
7:00-10:00AM East of Jenny's Docks and Slop, Our Bay East Docks, Our Bay NE Corner
Conditions: 64-60℉, Cloudy some light rain, Wind from Calm to Blowing SE to W back to SE
Water Temp: 64℉

2.82/17" Arashi Top Walker Jr. (Pearl Shad)

No gold went for the Rippin Raps or anything else today.  Finally got a few jumpers to go on topwater and the Speed shad.  All dinks except for the 17".  The panfish guy showed up around 5:30, so I didn't fish the S side.

The plan in the Trophy was to let the wind blow me from East of Jenny's to wherever fishing the rice then try the reeds across the way.

2.44lbs/17" A.T. Jig/Craw Fatty (Junebug/b/b)

It started out great with a 17" and 15.25" off the 2nd dock and rice edge on the A.T. Jig.  Then a pike stole my jig and had a couple fish miss Maxx as I brought it through the rice.  The wind switched out of the West before I got into the rice.  In the rice, I got a 15-inch fish and missed a hit or two.  On the next dock, I missed a fish and got a 15" on Maxx. It then got calm so I went out and tried in the cabbage getting nothing.  The two dock fish made me change plans and head to the SE corner to run docks.  I was quickly rewarded with 15.5" on the first dock I tried on the Terminator Jig/Craw Fatty.  I got a 16" and a 10" and missed a couple as I worked my way N on the Terminator Jig.  I worked out over the flat about 1/2 way up where there was some baitfish activity, but nothing wanted topwater.  As I got the NE corner it started to sprinkle; I got a 15-incher on bluegill Bubble Walker and a 13-incher on the Terminator Jig. Then it started to rain, so I headed in. 

I Sucked Then The Fishing Did

Evening Sky Because I Thought, Well

6:00-9:40PM South Corner Inlet Bay, Starting Spot to Double Cane, East of GOMH
10:30-11:00 GOMH NE
Conditions: 72℉, Cloudy then Sun, ESE Wind
Water Temp: 68-70℉

I got up to the lake place around 3:30PM and took Mal and Sophia tubing till about 4:30.  They left around 5:30.  Steve was putting in a new countertop, so it was just me tonight.  I decided to stop in the SE corner of Inlet Bay to start.  I was quickly rewarded with a 15" bass in the reeds on a Terminator Frog after anchoring for the first time.  I anchored again and lost a fish or two. I anchored again and missed a couple and got 15", which would be the last bass I would land for the whole fricking evening. I anchored again and got a pike and had a 15/16-incher jump me off in the reeds right by the boat. I also missed a hit or two in the reeds.  I anchored again and lost a good one in the slop as well as getting a pike or two.  I anchored again losing 14 or so 3/4 of the way in the reeds when it jumped me off.  I also got a pike.  Anchored again got a pike and the sun came out.  It was now after 7:30 and I decided to drift.  I missed 3 good hits on the Toadrunner.

At 8PM I headed over to the starting spot.  Not much was going on there except for a couple of pike.  At 8:40 I bailed for the rice East of GOMH.  Nothing was going on there either except for a couple of pike trying to steal my Mad Maxx.  When the sun came out the bass just shut down

The Trip to the GOMH was a bust, not even a hit.

GOMH, By Myself In The Trophy, With Todd Evening

2.97lb/17.25" Terminator (Yellow)

18" Rippin Rap (Helsinki Shad)

5:00-6:30AM GOMH NE SW
Conditions: 58-63℉, Cloudy, ESE light wind

Surprisingly I was the only person at the GOMH this morning.  The golden choked the Rippin Rap on the second cast.  I also caught  21-inch toothy on the RR, lost a couple quickly after hooking up, and had a couple of bites that didn't hook up.  I got an 11" and 15.5" jumper casting out on a BPS Speed Shad/Outcast Swim Jig Head.  I also got a dink and a couple that didn't hook up on the black Shower Blows knockoff.  On the SW side, I got another dink on the SBKO, a couple on the Poison, and one dink on black/blue craw tube.  I also got a 22.25 toothy on the FishingSir Vixen knockoff.  Both of the fish I got on the Rippin Rap were hooked in the gills, so I took a trip home to get the fish refrigerated.  I also had to switch vehicles so I wasn't on the water again until 7:30.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15.75" Mad Maxx (Bluegrass)

7:30AM-Noon: West Point, SPSI, Rice East of GOMH
Conditions: 65-70℉, Mostly Cloudy, ESE Wind 3-10MPH
Water Temp: 68-69

I hit up West Point to start and got a dink on the Dinger.  I then went to SPSI.  Nothing was off the tip, but on the weed flat to the west there was baitfish activity.  I got a 14.75" on the Hexa Chinooki which the fish blasted.  That was the only fish I got to rise for a topwater until I got to the rice.  On about my 5th cast to the inside weed edge, 15.5" bass blasted Mad Maxx.  I thought it was going to be AWWWWWWWN, but it was more like slow and steady.  I'd pick have a blow up every 10-15 minutes catching about a third of them.  The one in the picture was a fish that blew up about two good cast lengths away.  I quickly raced towards it on the troller and it blasted Maxx straightaway.  I got 8 bass and 3 pike in the rice East of GOMH.

Tragedy Averted 

I had a pike blow up on Maxx and instantly cut the line.  I didn't have the trolling motor in the water at the time.  I was extremely lucky to get the bluegrass Maxx back.  I'm not sure if I have any left or not.  Shortly after that, I went to try Channel Inn Bay, but as I started my drift Todd called me to come help with the pontoon boat lift, which they were putting in the water.  I had a picture, but the file was fubar.

16" Terminator Frog

8:00-10:00PM Starting Spot to Double Cane Point
Conditions: 70's, Partly Cloudy, ENE Wind 5-10MPH
Water Temp: 69℉

Steve had other stuff to do so it was just Todd and me tonight.  I decided to head North rather than South.  Todd made that decision seem ingenious when he quickly landed the 3lber.  The biggest bass f the day.  But it was a struggle for a while as the fish didn't seem to be in the rice like I thought they would be.  We picked off a fish here and there and ended up with it being a pretty good night, just no big fish.  Todd got 6 Bass and 1 Pike and I got 5 Bass 2 Pike, we also missed some fish of coarse.

7:00-9:40PM West Point, Loon Sex Point, Rice East of GOMH
Conditions: 70℉, Mostly Cloudy, SSE Wind
Water Temp: 68-70℉

I decided what the heck and hit West Point for the first time this year.  Don't know why I have ignored it this year.  It's a productive spot. I got one 12 incher on the black/blue craw tube tonight.  I then headed to Loon Sex Point with an option to Loon Sex Bay.  There was a boat sitting on where I wanted to start, so I moved a little farther up by the sign.  The wind was blowing pretty good, so I elected to anchor my way down the point. As I was anchoring for the second time a boat came and started fishing just off the end of the point with a spinnerbait.  I missed my first blow up shortly after that.  I anchored three more times missing two fish and having a couple fish show themselves. but not hit.  I chose not to go into the bay but proceeded on to the rice East of GOMH.

Not 5 casts in and I had a 15-inch bass in the boat.  About 5 minutes later I got a 13-incher.  I moved a little ways West and got the 17" up towards shore.  I then got a 16-inch looking bass that came off the frog while I was picking rice off the fish; it bounced on the deck then flipped itself right out of the boat. I was left with a bunch of rice to pick off my frog. I then got a 12.5".  I then got two 16-inch fish on a place I marked in the GPS a the 16 Hole. I got two more 16-inch fish to the West of there to close the night.

14.48lbs for my 6 Best Bass

How bow dah, not even a three-hour trip and I beat my weight from yesterday.

When I got back in Todd and Kristen were sitting around the fire.  They had been out for a pontoon ride with Mal, Flash, and Sophia.

I went to the GOMH and lost a fish on the Pink UV Rippin Rap.  That was the only bite I got.

Hopefully, the bass will still be in the rice in the morning.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.04/17" Craw Tube (Black/Blue)

6:30AM-5:00PM SPSI, River, SPRO, Intersection, Starting Spot, Double Cane Point

Conditions: 63-73℉, Partly Cloudy, Wind light to  blowing pretty good SE E NE

Water Temp: 64-72℉

Longest day I have spent on the water in years, but I never got tired.   I had enough water to drink and temps were comfortable so I just kept at it.  First stop was the South Point of the Small Island.  I got one dink there on the Pompadour.  Then it was on to the river mouth.  I just got done telling myself to be ready for a hit.  When a fish did indeed hit and I wasn't ready for it.  Putz move for sure.  Nothing beyond that was going on in the river mouth until  I got a little way in.  I traded off small pike and 14-inch bass along the southern shoreline on the Sparrow Bobby's Perfect Frog.  I then got a couple bass and had some spectacular misses on the FishingSir Vixen knock off along the northern shoreline.  That was about it until I got to the bulrushes where I developed a case of the misses on the Bobby's Frog.  Finally, I got 15-incher, then got on to missing fish again.  When I got down by the dam I got a couple on the FishingSir.  I missed a couple fish coming back out on the Bobby's.  I got a 15-incher on the craw tube which I didn't stick with because I wanted those frog blow ups which came, but I missed again.  

It was now 11AM and I was finally out of the river into the SPRO.  I got a 16-incher on the Bobby's then lost an even bigger fish on the next cast.  That got me sucked into the rice where I caught a couple more on the Bobby's and a fish a piece on the black Mad Maxx, bluegrass Mad Maxx, LiveTarget Frog. At about 1:30 I had to get out of that rice.  I decided to hit the SW corner of the intersection and missed a couple of hits on a frog.  I got a dink over by the reeds and cattails and got 15.5" in the reeds over by the log in the rice on the Terminator Frog Jr.  Lucky to get that fish.  I backlashed the cast and was just about to start pulling it out when the fish blasted the frog. I immediately clicked the reel in gear and laid the wood to the fish.  The NE intersection is the most beautiful bassy looking water on the lake, but there was nothing in it that wanted my topwaters today.  Saw a lot of fry swimming around though.

15.5" Toadrunner (Sunburn)

It was now about 3PM and I was headed in when I decided to head to the North End.  There I beat my head against a wall with frogs from East of the Starting Spot all the way to Double Cane.  A lot of fry in the rice here as well.  I had a good fish bury me in the reeds off of Double Cane Point on the Toadrunner and I got a 15.5-incher on it there as well.  I finally put the topwater down and caught my biggest fish of the day out of the reeds and cabbage on the back side of Double Cane on a craw tube.  I missed one solid bite that I never set on and finished the day when pike destroyed the craw tube.  Amazingly, I wasn't totally fried yet and could have easily fish a couple more hours before I got to that point.  Must be that Mocha coffee Dad got at Rubies Pantry.

13.31lbs for my 6 Best

Not exactly a stellar day on the water, but I had fun.

No Pics tonight
9:00-9:45PM 3 Loon Flat
Conditions: 70℉, Partly Cloudy, Protected from NW Wind which was dying

I showed Steve how to clean walleye and then stuck around until he was done.  I headed out to 3 Loon Flat hoping to get some topwater fish.  Not much was happening until it got pretty dark, then I picked up a couple of small pikes.  One on the black Shower Blows knock off and one on the Cotton Candy Hexa Chinooki.  Didn't get a hit on the 110 Plopper.


10:30-11:15PM GOMH NE
Conditions: Low 60's, Clear, Calm

Jerk Shad nothing
Shad Shallow Nothing
Pink Rippin Rap nothing
Sexy Shad Rippin Rap had a good gold most of the way in, but it got off.  I'd say it was 19-20 or so.   That was the only bite I got.

So I went into where we got them last night up by shore along the Starting Spot and the fish weren't there. Next, I headed out onto Dennis Flat and all I found out there was a few pike.  I ended up drifting through the reeds.  I got a few along the cane and on the back side where there was reeds and cabbage.  I had a loon come in close to check out what was up.  I then drifted over to big bass point and got a couple there as well.  On one of my casts, the loon followed my Poison back to the boat.  I quit at 11AM.

Conditions: 70-68℉, Partly Cloudy, Light ENE Wind

Steve and I almost got a double

We got out a little later than I wanted, but what am I gonna do.  Steve got permission from the wife to come along.  We headed to Loon Sex Bay first.  Steve missed a really good blow up in the first 5 minutes.  A couple of minutes later Todd was casting to the same area general area of Steve's miss when the big one of the night lit up Todd's Terminator Frog.  We missed a few hits and I got a 15 incher on the Bobby's Perfect.  For the most part, it was slow in Loon Sex.  At 8:45PM I made the move North.  The fish were on there.

13" Steve not impressed with his first catch 

Feeling much better about his second.

Steve got 3, I got 2, and Todd got 1 on the Starting Spot.  We all missed some as well. Todd got the two biggest of the night.
