Nice bass what were u throwing?

First one was in about 6" visibility on a 1/4oz single colorado blade white spinnerbait. I had never actually thrown it but I know you're supposed to use it in muddy water haha. Second one was in water with 1-2' vis so I was just flipping a pegged baby brush hog in willow grass.

Spent the day on the water with @kickerfish1 and his dad hoping to put them on some Kansas smallmouth, the fish did not disappoint. Over 100 fish came to the boat, a mix of smallmouth, largemouth, spots, white bass, crappie, walleye, sauger, and drum. The water was still high and muddy from the constant rain, which normally produces tough fishing, but the fish are post spawn and hungry apparently. The white bass and smallmouth were all skinny from their recent spawns, but very active and cooperative, the whites were frustrating at times they were biting so aggressively. Lots of fish were left out just because it's hard to get good video with 3 in the boat. 

 

I fished from my kayak for 45 minutes before a big storm came out of nowhere and chased me off Monday morning, but it was a productive 45 minutes, including my first catfish from the kayak.

 

black and blue arkie jig with a georgia craw zoom u-vibe speed craw.  (7.5 btw) 

great job guys!

 

 

Twice in 3 weeks I caught a new kayak PB. Same lake as the last one, but this time it was 4.43 pounds.

 

A brown one and a green one

Here are photos of both sides of this super cool hyperpigmented melanosis fish, caught her today on a wacky senko. Weighed 4.56lbs

Cool ~ That's Old Blackie  . . . . .

A-Jay

Got a couple this past weekend on a Fat Free Fry. 

 

Got on a white keitech, also got 2 pike on a rapala BX minnow in CT. 

Think they wanted a spinnerbait today?

Not huge (3.5lb), but it's nice sometimes to re-visit a place you once dismissed as a dink factory, and find out you may have been wrong.

I'm at WVU for orientation, but when we drove up yesterday I couldn't help but stop for a few on deep creek lake in MD since it was so pretty. Also caught some smallmouth and largemouth on the river here in Morgantown.

 

 

i stayed home this morning because of the intense heat (waaah). but the next best thing is scrolling thru all these pics. we all share this common bond, a passion and appreciation for fishing. thanks to every one of you for sharing your experiences from all across the nation. keep them coming.

We fished 5:30 til 11. Enough time to get in some fishing, and get off the lake before the heat and the drunks hit the water. Had some drunk jagleg talking crap from his dock as we were trolling by around 10am. Guess he thought he was cool standing next to his half million dollar Formula. No fish near his dock either. I figure bass don't like douchebags either

LOL

The Cavitron strikes again!

One of three bass this morning, all 15"-16".

...and a crappie on Berkley Pit Bull, of all things.

Sweet looking fish and cover to fish! BTW, is that the wedding party attire

 

It was today!  Lol...  I requested that the next meeting happen on the water since we all have kayaks.  Nobody objected 

Testing out the new tripod. Gotta move it back apparently lol. I did okay this morning. Once I found the bluegill spawn beds, I found the bass. Even sight fished a couple.    Best was 18". I forgot my sunglasses, and got a headache from squinting which forced me in earlier than I would have liked. 

 

A couple shots from the recent fishing/camping trip. Great fishing all weekend. Top-water bite was ON FIRE! Got these guys along with 99% of the bass on a Rapala Skitter Walk. Pictures of the best fish are on a camera which now resides at the bottom of the lake  

Most fish were spawned out and skinny, but wanted that Skitter Walk!

Best of 15 this morning went 19", but a somewhat "trim" 3.65lb.

This is one of two I caught shallow early on a black/black cavitron, before switching to a finesse worm on a shaky head to probe a steep, weedy dropoff ...and for a little while it was a fish on almost every cast. Mostly dinks, but 2 others about 16".

Got on some very DEEP drop shot fish in the kayaks today

great fish, gentleman. Very jealous. I haven't caught nothing but dinks lately.
