Weston Lakes along Weston Road, 5:30 to 7:00, clear sky, north wind 5MPH, water light stain.
Went out this evening for a few relaxing hours of fishing. I hit several lakes along Weston Road and caught 8 nice bass in the 2 to 3 pound range. As the sun was setting I casted along a weed line with a mix of buggy whips and pads. The stick-o started to move off toward deeper water. I set the hook and a bucket mouth exploded out of the water and the fight was on. I had to pull her through about 10 yards of thick pads, so I kept her head up as high as possible and she tail walked herself right through the pads. Thank God I just retied after catching the previous bass. She was approximately 26 inches long with a big, thick belly. She weighted approximately 9 pounds. Hopefully Lou will help with a picture post since for some reason I can't get that job done. It was my big fish of this season and after a few pictures she was released in perfect shape. Right before catching her I was very close to leaving, as it was getting dark and a fat snake was in the area. I'm so glad I had to have just one more cast. She made my day!
