Finally got some nice bass out of Brookville lake (Ind). Took off work a bit early last Thursday and hit the lake by 2:30PM. I had picked up some X-Rap jerkbaits (#10 Silver) and was itching to try them out. The water was 55 degrees and it was sunny. Water was stained with 2-3ft visibility up in the north half of the lake. The third cast I caught a small keeper smallmouth so I was pumped. I found a pattern that worked (5-8 ft sandy flats near deep water) that really worked well. I snaked 6 keepers and a couple other dinks. The biggest was 3 lb 7 oz. Three of the others were over 3 lbs and that's good for me for here.

Nice fish and combo you got there.

Thank you sir.  Heading out to Brookville again in a few minutes.  Rainy and cool here following some pretty erratic weather so not sure how fishing will be.  I figure if I can't get on the bass I might get a few crappie.

I caught a fish a couple of ounces more today with the same exact combo. curado 200e5 with a st. croix premier series crankbait rod??

didn't catch it on a x rap though. Nice fish and nice combo

Yeah it's a Premier 7MF - I like that rod a lot.  I had an Avid ready to purchase but I liked the feel of the premier almost as much.

ya thats a good looking combo set you got there
