Quality Bronzeback Bites
mai 15, 2006
I spent the day fishing a trophy lake for smallmouth bass with Mike today and what a day it was! Jerkbaits & fin-s tipped jigs accounted for over 30 smallies landed under not so perfect conditions. The weather began overcast and late in the morning started to rain. Air temps reached 60 degrees by late in the afternoon with E/SE winds at 15 to 20 knots, blowing waves of two feet in certain areas. Even the water temps were a little colder than I had expected with the average being just 51 degrees. Only one lake trout was caught today of 5 pounds, but we were after the jumbo smallies. Of the 30 bass landed today, 20 of them were between 4 & 5 pounds and several were over 5 as well. Unfortunately, we didn’t get anything over 6 today, but they were still real quality bronzebacks, nevertheless. All in all a really fantastic day for quality fish!!!
