a smallmouth turned on my popper so quick it hooked itself in the side i thought i was like a 6 pounder bringing it in but it was just foul hooked

it's from last year but still my favourite pic of the lake and this one from this year this is what i see from my dock

for me it has mainly been swim jigs and swimbaits

i use the medium crank box for my deep divers and medium divers as well as jerkbaits

i haven't tried the very old yet i picked up a bottle of Woodford Reserve

haven't been buying much tackle lately i've been buying cigars up lately as well as picking up a nice bottle of bourbon for my birthday. thought i did pick these up last week they are a n interesting spook i'm excited to see how they preform

for me it's the rage craw like most others but i also use the gambler burner craw, berkley chigger craw and the net bait paca chunk

i have a tatula type-r 8.1:1 on my fury fpr i would go with that

thanks for all the input guys i really appreciate it. i will probably invest in a decent fish finder for either this year or next

personally i have found that one of my favourites is the gamble little ez i use it as a trailer for swim jigs & bladed swim jigs. if you want something larger profile i would get the big ez and throw it on a twist lock swimbait hook. i would also look at the reaction innovations skinny dipper and the bps speed shad of course in whatever size and colour you like for your waters

I'm thinking more summer bass season don't open until the 4th Saturday in June. I'm thinking focus on points close to deep water

there used to be brook trout in the lake but i don't believe there are anymore the population of bigger largemouth have eaten them so i don't believe the MNR is stocking with trout anymore

so you're thinking is that because there are no baitfish that tend to migrate that the bass are much more likely to stay shallow from pre-spawn to late fall?

only predator fish are laregemouth and smallmouth, prey are bluegill, rockbass and craws

not really it's a fairly small lake and there are only 2 people (myself included) who fish the lake on a regular basis

i'm looking at those as well the one in the larger bay where they creak channels intersect has a small gravel/rip rap/sandbar which can be seen in the other picture not really much vegetation except for some pencil reeds on it obviously i don't really know what the vegetation is like underwater since the clarity is probably about 5' at most the one in the back bay (far left through that narrow channel) has a lot of intersections so i am going to spend a decent amount of time cranking in there

okay so i have done about all the thinking i can on this one i do not have a fish finder, i do not have a good idea of the depths or contours of the lake i just have these 2 pics one shows a general idea of depth the other shows water flow and topo of the area where would you fish and what would you fish there? the scale of depth is in meters i have converted it to feet for my friends from the south 1m=3.28' | 2m=6.56' | 3m=9.84' 4m=13.2' | 5m=16.4' | 6m=19.68'

that Z limited is absolutely sick i would love to have one of those but man that price is steep

like certain celebrities

well looks like i'm out for this one

lippless crank or a chatterbait (most likely a chatterbait though)

leave it without one and put a horny toad on the back of it

i love sieberts dredge football and the gridiron football mike is a great guy shoot him a pm and he will help you out

perch, shad, gold/black, clown, pro blue

that fish is probably only 3 or 4 lbs
