What a day on the water!!!!
The day started off bad as the water level in the lake I wanted to fish was really low again (thank you rice farmers!) and I was unable to get my inflatable boat anywhere near the water to set it up. So I drove another 30 minutes back to a lake I don’t know much about and got the boat ready. This lake gets fished a lot by bank fishers but only 2 sides are accessible by foot and I don’t think this lake gets a lot of boat pressure.
The bass were busting baitfish all over the lake in water between 1 and 4 foot deep, so my 3 best lures on the day were a buzzbait early morning, then a spinnerbait in the late morning and a KaRu Vibrashock from noon though the rest of the afternoon. I caught 1 or 2 on a senko and Neko rig and even a couple of dinks flippin’ a baby brush hog with a Parasite weight tungsten weight.
I caught a total of 55 bass and 2 snakeheads.
What an awesome day, it was one of those days when you would give anything for just a few more hours of daylight. I think I’ll be going back there again next week. Here’s some photos.
SWEET! Way to go Steve.
55 Bass!
And 2 snakeheads as a bonus! Is that a record or what? That sounds like a perfect day, it just can’t get any better than that, can it?
Damn Steve! Way to go!!!! That’s awesome!!!!! Go out and have yourself a beer mate!!!1
Thanks guys!!
Nomad – 55 is a record for me, I caught 50 in a day once last year, but these fish were bigger on average and very strong. The fish were in the weeds which were quite sparse and there were small lanes between the weeds where I could pull my lures through and the bass would just slam them.
Rob – I plan on several more than just one beer tonight
Steve, You are da Man! Nice bass AND 2 snakeheads. I wish we had lakes up here like that.
Yeah Steve, you have some really decent lakes down there, enjoy. Plus, you can put in with a boat down there, on the few lakes I know about, we don’t have that option. On a couple, you can rent their boats though…
Thanks John.
You guys are right, there are a good variety of lakes down this way. If you ever come down this way, I’ll show you around
And you were counting after 20
Wish I could have a day like that anyday. I was told that Koreans consider it good luck when you catch a snakehead. You got two so you should have another great day in the future 
lol, I don’t count them, but I take a photo of each and every bass I catch and count the photos when I get home
I am going to try my luck at this same lake again tomorrow, hopefully with similar results!!
Good luck!
I wish i could of got that snakehead off ya. But there not allowed in the states =(
