How has the fishing been for everyone this week?

 

Today (Sunday) was ok but I got no big ones. I ended up with 18 Bass, most were keepers but biggest was only 3 lbs.

         Almost all of my fish came on crankbaits in grass that was 3-8' deep. The rest came on Yamamoto D Shads and Senkos.

 

 

Friday was awesome.

      

I had well over 50 Bass and 17 were the in the 2 lbs to 4 lbs range. The biggest was 4 lbs 3 oz. I caught so many fish that

my thumbs were raw and starting to bleed.

        The fish were absolutely crushing almost every bait I put in front of them. They were almost completely swallowing the

Siebert Outdoors Swim Jigs (Bluegill color and Bloody Shad color) with Swim Senko trailers, they were blasting crankbaits, Double Swim Senko rigs,

I got a few on frogs in the slop, got a few on Siebert Outdoors Elite Series jigs, Carolina rigged Yamamoto Lizards, Yamamoto

Flappin Hogs, 7" Senkos and vibrating jigs.

 

They were eating so much stuff that I am sure I forgot something.

 

It seemed like whenever I thought they were done biting, I would turn around and get another decent fish and the frenzy started again.

 

 

Two tips I have to share with everyone is don't be scared to throw something different. Keep trying everything because you never know

what might work on a particular day.

 

And make sure you have good sunglasses. The glare was so bright off of the water that without good polarized glasses you wouldn't

be able to see the clumps of grass in the deeper water. Plus I think the sun in your eyes would give you a headache after a while. The

pair I had on Friday was the Wiley X Twisted and today I was using the Wiley X Rush.

 

I know some people don't believe sunglasses play that big of a roll in fishing but I really don't think I would have caught as many fish without

them because I would be casting blind. It was key to see where the grass clumps were at. Non-polarized glasses just don't give you the same

clear vision.

 

So how was your week and what worked best for you?

 

Sounds like a good time. Any pics?

Slow where I went.  I got one dink on a live worm, and my daughter got a sunfish that was almost the same size as my bass.  I didn't see anyone doing any good with artificial bait.
