Googly (Roger) and I set out to my favorite place, this time in his boat. With the holiday, I knew boat traffic would be ridiculous, and by 10 AM, it was.  Tons of boats anchored up, sunbathers, and drinkers.  I have to say, the scenery at The City Dump is a bit better than P-Bay, LOL.

It was a hot, clear, and beautiful day.  Surface temps were 69-70.  Unfortunately, most fish were post spawn already.  Seems like they just moved up to bed last week, and sadly, now its over.  No monster rock bass today.  No monster anything really.  The numbers game of the past several weeks has vanished.

We did catch though.  I had a few swimbait fish, and burned through an entire jar of Gulp! Alive Crazy Legs Jerk Shads.  Roger caught on a mid crank, and very lightly weighted plastics.  Nothing, not even a whiff on jigs or creatures - very surprising for this bay.

The bedding sunnies were just murder as well.  Their beds were deeper than years past, probably due to water being down about 20".  I even caught on a big Magic Swmmer!

I wish I had taken a few more photos, but I kept waiting for a truly picture worthy fish tat never materialized.  Late in the afternoon, I managed to hit a decent smallie off bed.  He was a real bulldog.

Afterward, Pier One for burgers, and then headed home.

As always, Roger was a gracious host.  Thanks for another good time!

Excellent  and nice colors on that Brownie..

What bay is P-bay?

I'm blanking on bays that start with p

Great fish by the way

Port Bay.

Thanks Big-O.

I do like the colors on that smallmouth.  And that sunfish has a big appetite!
