After all the talk of fishing humps and ditches last night I hit the lake today and found this guy off the steep side off a hump! He fully committed to this crankbait, what a fun bite! I really enjoyed the discussion last night and I’m looking forward to part 2
Went out for a couple of hours today before the next cold snap in Virginia. Forced a smile when my buddy caught the lunker of the day 😀
Did some research the night before with my Lowrance app to locate points, contours and depth I wanted to fish. Our area had its first rain in over 3 weeks. Start of the day was 45 degrees and the rain stayed longer than forecasted. (Questioned why I was out in the weather).
Rain stopped around 1pm and sun came out with the wind picking up. Water temperature was 46 degrees and the air temperature was rising. Caught three nice bass on a crankbait in the next two hours. Bouncing it off of rock and wood laydowns in 5 to 10 of water with deeper water nearby.
Love it when a plan comes together!
A couple hours with the kayak on Lake Lanier yesterday paid off for a couple good ones…. Kietech slow retrieval
First fish on the new boat a month or so ago. Ironically it was caught about 100 feet from where I caught my first bass about 30 years ago when I was 8. Just over 3# largie.
Got out on the water yesterday to avoid the shopping madness. Water temps are still hovering 58-60 here in North Texas. This LM was caught in 8ft of water on the Rapala Marvik 110. I could see them grouped up around the bottom so I would throw past them and work it down to depth. The key for me was to throw way past them so I had the distance to work the bait to depth before getting to them. Hope that helps some of y'all. If you have questions, ask!
Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving! I spent it back home in South Carolina fishing one of my favorite ponds in Bamberg County loaded with cypress trees and grass. Was rewarded with a few on a chattebait and also put one of my daughters on one…. she was locked in….❤️….
Nothing like a little neighborhood pond fishing at the in-laws... Caught this little guy on a Texas Eye Finesse jighead with a pearl baby goat rigged vertical... Not a shad pond, so I'm interested to see what that will do in the big leagues.
Happy Thanksgiving SUF family!!
Gonna be tough to get some fishing in with this cold weather for the next week. Too early for this kind of cold in Virginia. 😀
Only had a couple hours on the water, but man it was good. 5.7 pounder.
