had some real good action tonight caught i think it was 8 bass in about 2 hours, biggest around 20" smallest about 14". i did stay busy this evening. best time fishing i have had yet this year. i wonder if tonight was hot for everyone or just me? i would post some pics if i could figure out how. Thanks, Dennis

went out to the pond for a couple hours and ZERO fish so no, not so much for me.

was throwing the buzzbait, swim jig, t rig worm, frog and the chatterbait.  NOTHING.

I went to a creek, caught a 5 pounder on a popper. It was a great fight

The weather finally cooperated and found a school of 2 to 3 pounders.  Running a deep crankbait off a ledge.  Partner and I caught 15 in 90 minutes.  The rain in our area has made it tough to find a pattern for the bass, this past week we finally dried out some and turned on the heat/sunshine.  Located in mid-west Illinois.

Buddy went last night and caught a 5.9 on a spinnerbait. 

Caught 4 dinks in an hour of fishing with my 3 year old daughter last night.  Just enough to keep her entertained. 

I went from 5:30 pm to 3 AM. I counted 38 fish caught , most in the slot 12 to 15 inches  , none over it. I lost one big fish that broke me off  in a brush pile. I was trying to hold pressure on it and get the boat closer to land it , I guess I held to much pressure.   Was hoping for a top water bite but a black spinnerbait was the dominant lure .

a few pics from last night, hopefully tonight will be good again. 

I did nothing but throw bait for two hours, then the last 20 min before complete darkness I killed it.

 

Two nice 2lber's on a weightless wacky senco pitched under a dock.

A 3lb on spinnerbait.

Then on the way out a really nice one that Im thinking was around 4 lbs on a Zman chatter bait as I was headed back to my truck..

so tonight i went out again, same conditions, same lures (also threw everything at'em), same time and no bass....lol. strange creatures they are. right at dark i started throwing a little panfish jig and got 1 crappie and 1 rock bass...just cuz i didnt want to get skunked.

Actually the fishing sucked really bad, 6 bass all night, but I wasn't out there to catch numbers either. Black and blue War Eagle at 2:30 in the morning. 

I didn't catch a thing!.…………cause I didn't go fishing

not a bad night 8/3, i got 6 LMB and one dog fish in about 2.5 hours, are you suppose to kill dog fish? i think i heard you are.

No, they're a native fish species that deserves to be there just as much as the bass do.
