flippinbass

Hey guys I'm just looking for opinions on favorite soft plastic colors in clear water vs murky/ cloudy water. I'm just looking for any general insight towards color choice in different water conditions! Any help's appreciated!

Wow what a monster! What were you able to get her on ?

Just because it's Ontario doesn't mean it's smallmouth haha ... we have just as healthy a population of largemouth!

Awesome. Thanks a lot for your help, I've already picked a new launch spot we've never gone to just to reach the main lake point easier! It's a big inlet that has islands and long deep points, that'll be the starting point! And yes forage would most likely be perch as they are everywhere from the bottom of the lake to the shallows in every lake it seems lol. Again thanks for your help I appreciate it! Heading out to Rice Lake this weekend, will post any pics of good bass if we can get some!

Thanks man! I'll definitely try this out!

Cool to see someone close by on the site! Yeah that's how we usually fish, flippin tight cover. But yeah that's what I keep hearing is that they definitely prefer that deep water access. And yea my father and I usually launch at Caesarea and fish all the grass and reeds along the south side of the island. We've had days where we pull 3-4 pounders out all day but there seems to be more and of those days where we're struggling to find fish, but I think that's because we've always concentrated on shallower water fishing. Thanks for your advice!

Definitely go for bass but take a couple crappie for dinner !

Thanks for your time, I'm just rejoining the site again after not visiting for probably a year now. I would really appreciate any help on where to find summer bass. I live in southern Ontario, and primarily fish Lake Scugog and Rice Lake. I was out last weekend on Scugog, and we were mostly fishing shallow flats that lead right up to reeds with pads and grass spread throughout. Scugog is a very shallow lake, average of 5' with a max of around 20-22'. I hooked up 4 largies no bigger than 2- 2.5lbs and a 1 pound smallmouth while I was waiting to load the boat on the trailer The fish I caught were on a chatter bait, flippin tubes, and a spinnerbait. I just can't figure out where to find larger quality and quantities of fish. Should I be out on the deeper flats relating to weed edges and such? Instead of fishing so shallow for most of the day? What are some main lake features that are good starting points for the day? What are your favorite techniques for covering water quck on these deeper flats? Heading out to Rice Lake this weekend, and I definitely will be hitting deeper water with a flippin jig, some big okeechobee craws and other big creature baits, and probably a spinner bait, and I might try some medium diving cranks.
