Well figured it has been warm enough lately to go target some largemouth so away to my diamond in the rough big bass lake is what I like to refer to it as. Since I sank some Christmas tress for a fish magnet later in the year a beaver has moved in dammed the spill way and the water level is the highest I ever seen it which means now the bass are all up in the willows and stuff so now you need to put the bait in a tighter spot but also found out they are still on the edges also. Four cast reeled in a two pounder, couple cast more a five pounder, the whole time I fished was maybe three hours covered only a quarter of the lake so no telling how many more I would have caught, had several on for a second or two then off, had some vicious hits, only say big boil afterwards where bait was coming towards me. Then cought another five maybe six pounder in the nastiest stuff figured out oh heck just cast in there any way to just see if there is one in there sure enough bringing it right through the junk and of course one of my older christmas trees underneath is holding most debris around it in a circle like and man two cranks on the reel another five pounder surprise. But this lake just keeps on impressing me every time I go it is something new. Only used my frog bait usually switch up but since they were on the frog did not change up. So nothing else to say except I 'll be back this weekend, this time I think I'll make it all the way around so I figure I'll have about a twenty five or so caught fish day with the average being 5 pounders hope to land one or two of the seven or eight pounders I know that are in there just be patient. Plus noticed little fish are getting scarce so might have to yank a couple of big ones to keep there numbers down. So tight lines fellow fishing people, and pack out what you pack in don't leave it up to me to pick up your trash, u r welcome!

My buddy and I hit our lake on Friday, it was slow at the start but we quickly got into em. Turned out being maybe the best bass fishing I've ever had. There was a bass boat fishing ahead of us that kinda slowed the fishing but they missed quite a bit haha! We got around 10 total, largemouth and smallmouth. I got my personal best smallmouth as well but my buddies Gopro died. Overall great day though! Got some serious bass thumb lately haha.

Great day on the water today, 31 crappie, 4 Kokanee, 2 Trout & a bunch of spawning perch

We've gone out the past 2 day, (5/6 5/7) and we've done really well, after opening trout I got her hooked, so I decided to take her out for her first bass. we caught around 15-20 fish all ranging around 2-3 pounds but some in the 4-5 pound range. I was using a T-rigged tube and she was using a wacky rigged senko.

Not much info as it is a "secret" lake report :) My best friend of 39 years swore me to secrecy on this lake about 15 years ago, so it's not my idea to keep it a secret, although I can't argue with the logic on this one!

Decided to take my jon boat out for it's first ever fishing trip today! As usual I was the only one on this lake and I hit my first fish on a jig at 6:58am, she went 5.0lbs even. I did not get another bite until noon! It was windy all day so I made my way over to the side the wind was blowing to and started throwing a spinnerbait through the pads.....to give you an idea of how fast it happened I checked the pics on my phone for the time of day the pic was taken:

6:58am = 5.0lber
12:00 = 4.5lber
12:06 = 5.2lber
12:14 = 5.8lber
1:53 = 4.4lber

Crazy!! Not unusual for this lake but more often it's 3-4lbers and much more consistent! I did catch one more 4.2lber but did not take it's pic.... 6 fish 29.1lbs total, average of 4.85lbs per fish and the 5 biggest went 24.9lbs!! I'll take that all day long!

Only 2 more days of vacation left....gotta make em count!

Headed out on Wednesday after work. Water temp. was up around 53-53.8. Seen many largemouth. Seen a group of 10 or 12 or maybe even 15. Seen some others, as well. Threw everything that I had tied up on my 6 rods at them. Got two bites on a 10" Powerteam ribbon hinge worm but no hook ups. Fished from 4:45 until 7:25.

The following day I decided to go back and tone the bait down a bit from 10" worms and big, huge jigs to a nice little enticing morsel to see if that would help. At the dock, before I took off on Thursday, I tied on a 2/0 hook and put a 4" green pumpkin or watermelon or something Senko on, wacky rigged in hopes that would do it.

Motored to where I had seen all the fish the night before and threw that senko out there. In one hour I caught 7 LMB. One was 1 1/2 pounds, one was 2 1/2 pounds and one was 4.0 pounds. The other 4 were all 3.1 to 3 1/2 pounds. All fish caught on two senkos. All caught in a 20 foot circle. All caught after the bait hit the bottom of the lake.

I seen one come out from under a dock and look at my senko as it hit bottom. I figured I'd give it some movement but when I did the fish stopped moving. I let it sink and the fish moved closer. I wiggled it again and the fish backed off. So, I let the bait fall to the bottom and let it rest motionless. The fish went right after hit and sucked it half way in with the side of it's mouth. I waited, then it sucked it the rest of the way in and I set the hook, solid.

7 fish hooked and 7 fish caught all in the same manner.

I threw fish number 6 into the livewell so when I caught number 7 I could get a pic of the two together like in my other pictures with earlier fish. But, when I caught number 7 I had forgotten that I had one in the livewell. I took a cell phone pic of it and threw it back, a nice solid 3.5 pounder. Later that dumb fish in my livewell made a big old splash and scared the heck out of me. I had to open it up to check, yep, I had a fish in there I had forgot about. It was just so frantic, though, I lost track.

After that initial hour, I moved around to try some other spots but no luck. I came back to where I had caught all the fish and made a couple of casts and decided I would call it a night. I was kind of tired of all the action, haha, true story. So, I released number 6 at that time over a weed bed and took a short video of it with my camera disappearing into the weeds. Here is a link of the stupid video if anyone is interested.

Decided to go trout fishinfor the first time this year. So I convinced my friend to pull his little smokercraft out of hibernation and head to a local lake I fished as a kid but haven't been to in years. While this lake is no secret it get ls enough pressure without me naming it here. Anyways we started trolling around 3 oclock I with a red wedding ring tipped with worm and he a rooster tail. We kept passing by this old worn out little dock and iwould keep getting bumped. This happened on the first three passes, finally my friend says maybe my hook wasn't Sharp enough, so after a couple of strokes with my buddy's file we passed through again and BAM! tied into a nice 2+ pound rainbow I fought it for a good five minutes, got it in close enough to snap a few quick pics and pulled the barbless hook out of its mouth and sent it on its way. A great fish, and he will live to fight another day. A picture lasts a lot longer than one meal of trout. Had to rank the day high since I went out not really expecting to catch anything and caught this beauty. It was the only fish brought to the boat.

I went to my secret urban pond on Sunday. The pond is maybe 1 acre, and I've caught cutts, bows, lmbs, pumpkinseeds, rock bass and perch there. I got there at 8 am, due to the cold my target was cutts. So I tied on a gold castmaster, the next hour produced bite after bite, red hot action. I c and r 12 and kept 5. I was pretty happy about it. They weren't monsters but I had a good time.

OK.. so this is a little pond/lake in my local, which I can't give up the name. But that being said... today was a very nice time. This lake is the collection point of a bunch of the cities storm water runoff. You would thing.. Yuck! no fish. But,on the contrair mo-frair. This pond is somehow stocked/managed by a local community group. There are rainbows in here in the 12" range. The community group also has signs posted, saying that they have planted some species of salmon... Coho maybe? They ask for you to please release any fish. So all of this sounds like a dream..? This past Sept. I fished the pond. There was a guy with a couple of 12" trout on hand. He showed me a pic. of 4-5 lb salmon, hook nose ta boot. I know that it was legit, because the background reflected the same bushes, etc. He also said that another girl had caught " A very large similar "Trout" recently as well.."
Well, anyway, last Sept. in my float tube I was slaying the 12" trout.

Today I went out, about 0800. maybe 45 degrees air temp. No sign of fish on the surface. Pond was 50% down from Sept. 80% of the pond was literally 3-4' deep. Maybe 20% was 6-8' deep. I made repeated passes dragging my fly through the deeper channel. I caught/released two rainbows about 12". They were thick and healthy.
I lost another 4-5 to missed hook sets.
No large salmon species did I witness, but it is a funny place. A few dog walkers come in for their walk. They look at you like they can't believe you are in a float tube in the middle of this city pond.--- but, heck ya, I'm catching fish!
On the negative end.. I am pretty sure that I left my cell phone there, with the pics. I pay 7 dollars a month for any type of replacement of phone, however I'm too lazy to walk back into this lake to look for it. I guess I'll be looking for a new cell phone?

left the pole out over night,caught this strange fish,,i dont even know what it is, mabey one of you can tell me,but its gotta tail like a gar,scales like a car and a mouth like a bass...?!?!?!? i was botton fishing with a bobber usin dead minnows
