This one is pretty short.  Went to Cutler Lake and fished from a few spots.  Was some nice weather, so we went up after my brother got off work.

 

 

 

 

Water was pretty clear, could see some ******* fish swimming around.

 

Initially we saw what appeared to be a bunch of Bluegill/Crappie chasing baitfish under water (bubbles and surface disturbances).  Once we moved to a new spot, I tried one of our Rapala jointed minnows and managed to foul hook what I think was a Crappie - pan-fish shaped and was black/blue/silver.  Very pretty fish.  I saw one of the surface disturbances and cast near it and drug the Rapala through it - managed to snag the fish on it's "forehead" with one of the treble's.  Pulled it out and let him go.

 

Went to a different spot but by now it' was getting dark and the bugs were just CRAZY.  So we called it a day and headed home.

Yeap, you've been bitten by the fishing bug. 

 

You should drag a lure along the bottom. In your area, largemouth bass are probably bedding or preparing to bed. From your location on the shore, you should be able to reach them. Try a Texas-rigged Senko, ribbontail worm or Brush Hog. Good luck!
