I was back on the water again this morning with Andre & Jim, but on a trophy lake for smallies. Less fish but better quality was what we were after and we definately hit it right! In the 4 or 5 hours we fished, there were 3 lakers landed as well as 8 bass. Three of the bass were over 6 pounds, 2 were over 5 pounds and the smallest was around three. To say they were giants would be an understatement! Both fishermen bettered their personal best! Jim had a fish that was estimated at 6.5 pounds with a measurement of 21 inches, with a 17 inch girth! Andre had a couple just a bit smaller too! With a limited amount of time remaining in the day, we decided that a lake change was in order after lunch. We tried a slightly smaller lake nearby that also had good populations of smallmouth bass. The winds had intensified at 15 to 25 knots from the S making boat control difficult, even on the smaller lake. Air temps were above 70 degrees and the water temps were in the low 60’s with a 2 foot chop. A rock-pile in the middle of the lake produced the bulk of the smallies during the afternoon with a couple going over 5 pounds. There were probably around 15 bass landed here with the others being in the 3 to 4 pound range as well. All in all a great day with plenty of quality bass being caught & released on both lakes!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
