Once again the three of us fished another mystery lake today & all I can say is Big Fish! Deep Water Largemouth are amazing when approached in this fashion! With crystal clear water and 30 or more feet in depth, we keyed in on an incredible way of fishing and the most unbelievable largemouth fishing I’ve ever seen. I never thought that a largemouth could fight like a smallmouth bass until today. About 70 bass up to & over 5 pounds with the average being about 3 pounds or more fell victim to our jigs. Water temps were mid 70s and the air temps went into the 80s by mid afternoon. What an excellent day!!!

I headed on a road trip into Northern Quebec today with Alain & Michel for four days. We fished this afternoon on a lake that will remain nameless, for smallmouth & largemouth bass. The water temps were 78 in the shallows & the air temps were in the 80s. We caught some largemouth bass in heavy cover and missed several others also. About 10 to 12 bass were caught up to 3 or so pounds in various areas as we got a feel for the lake. Tomorrow will be better, I’m sure!

I fished with Jason & his dad John, again today on Lake Champlain. The water temp was 74 & the air was into the 80s by afternoon. Most of the day, the lake was flat calm! The best fishing once again was in deep water. Drop shotting in up to 38 feet of water produced the bigger fish today. About 20 or more quality smallmouth bass up to 3.5 pounds were caught. A tough day, but overall a good one!!

I fished with Jason & John again today, but on Lake St-Francis due to the heavy winds forcasted for Lake Champlain. A shallower bite in order today as it took about two casts to get into the first fish. A 3.5 pound smallie fell victim to our offering! There was a dark sky overhead & terribly humid temperatures as the storms around us showed their fury. Heavy rains poured on us three times during the day making visibility extremely difficult. Fortunately, the fish didn’t seem to care! About 20 to 25 bass were caught today up 3.5 pounds. No real big ones, but steady action none the less. Overall, a pretty good day as we finally got off the water about 3:30 PM. Mother Nature can be so cruel!!

I fished with Jason & John from Oklahoma today on Lake Champlain. The air temps were in the 80s & the water temps were mid to upper 70s with heavy algae. Deep water was definately the way to go as we tried different depths with only good success in the 25 to 35 foot ranges. A slow approach was needed to entice these negative smallmouth bass into eating our offerings. Lots of smaller bass fell victim today, with the largest going about 4 pounds or so. We had all kinds of windy conditions today with some calm water as well. Two to 3 foot waves from the SSW were the norm, but mirror calm gave way to a rotating wind from the NNW by afternoon. About 25 bass were caught today, but mostly in the smaller size.
