Clarkshill topwater spotted bass. Fish are starting to school some. Hopefully it continues to get better if we can ever get any cooler weather. lol.
2026 has been awesome from fishing perspective so far. I am grateful for the BLat and SUF community. Thanks! I have come so far in a few years. 1% improvement over and over again.
I fished a long stretch of water today and there were only two docks that were sticking out into the deeper water around 8’ deep. The rest of the docks were small and only got to 3-4’ of water on outside posts. I took my time and picked the water apart about an hour and a half total in 200 yards. I fished the grass between the docks and caught a few 1-2lb. I dropped a wacky rig to the outside posts on both deeper water docks and caught a largemouth on both. The docks were holding a 2-3/4 and 5-1/2lb bass. Like advised many times in videos and lessons here, staying off the trolling motor I believe is a huge factor. That’s one my goals for the rest of the season to work on boat control and setting up to drift to my target area.
When a catfish about swallowing your jig...
All my buddies have been slaying them in jigs, its definitely not a confidence bait if mine, thats why ive been throwing it more and more... trying to gain some confidence in it... now im confident itll catch big catfish.... lol
In the past 7-10 days I’ve fished in the local rivers. I’ve mostly been catching them between the grass and the shore on multiple baits. I have caught a couple In the openings in the grass, but seems most are looking towards shore. Normally I would’ve fished the edge of this grass out deeper quickly or skipped by, but now I slow down and pretty much stop at these spots where I see a noticeable separation between shore and the thick grass, and it’s been paying off. Tips I’ve learned here like staying off the trolling motor I beleive also helps a lot.
This Cayuga Lake Bass cost me a lot of time but gave a some money back and clearly I am thrilled to catch it!! Light and variable what felt like 20mph south wind blowing straight up the lake made it like an ocean. Ken and I caught 18 lbs on Wed but not on tournament day. I appreciate the experience and now can say I fished Cayuga. Nothing broke so far which is good. I appreciate the support from everyone. I learned a lot and got more experience. I LOVE SUZUKI! Somehow I got the Suzuki Contingency with one fish... IMHO, the most reliable outboard on the water.

Summer can be tough. This week I fished with app member Caleb Kelly during the toughest month of the year. We had 2 productive days.
Day 1 we fun fished behind a tail race and day 2 we spent fishing over 80-100ft of water with neko rigs and dice baits.
