Headed out yesterday morning at day break. It had been a clear night and air temps dropped

off to the mid Thirties - brr. Bite was non-existent until after 10 am. Then the lake slowly began

to come to life. Fish were spooky and with a blue bird sky and flat calm conditions I broke out

the spinning gear and went down to 6 pound test. I was finding smb on points and lmb in the

backs of coves, mostly on wood. A swim jig with a swim senko trailer was proving successful.

Water temps are holding in the low 60's and it's crazy crystal clear to 20 feet.

I haven't fished this section of water until that morning but I'm glad I poked my nose in there.

At the very back end of the southern most cove I found a nice pile of downed trees in 18 fow

(now way point 747) and on back to back casts, I took these two brutes. It had been a while

since I caught lmb on spinning gear, I need to do this more often. They were very sporty

on the 6 lb line.

I called it a day after releasing the second fish. Good way to end a nice morning.

I'm Taking my wife with me in the morning and I am really hoping lightning will strike twice ~

Those are some FAT bass, man.  Did you get any weights on them?

Hey J, ~ yea they were both fatties and both were a healthy 4 lbs plus. When I grabbed and looked at the first one I thought "might be a 5" but the scale disagreed. Then I lipped the next one and I'm like " now that's a 5" and then to the scales . . and . . . again 4 and change. Funny how that works. I am NOT complaining however.

Those 2 girls have certainly not missed any meals.

Nice catches! Love to have those in a tournament live well!

Beautiful fish.  Nice job.

Nice story, great pics and fine fish!

A-Jay ,you know what they say about 747's? Almost to big to fly. Great pair of ladies.
