They're all hanging in the grass around 12-15 FOW. Hardest part is waiting for the bait to get down there. well done man ? 3 Quote
Super User J._Bricker Posted August 6, 2020 Super User Posted August 6, 2020 My buzzbait bite continued this morning and this 5.3lber was my best of the day. From the moment she engulfed it, all I could think of was Bobby Lane saying “she just had to have it” ?! 18 1 Quote
Super User J._Bricker Posted August 6, 2020 Super User Posted August 6, 2020 So today I thought it was gonna be an epic topwater morning. On the water at 0520, incoming tide topping out around 0700 and greasy calm compared to the 15-20+ mph gusts from the previous day. Go figure things didn’t work out the way I planned as only one chunky 2.5lber ate the buzzbait. Good thing I was able to get on a short punch bite to save the day. This long 4.9lber jumped on my offering the minute it went through the mat and released a short time later. 15 Quote
Super User NYWayfarer Posted August 7, 2020 Super User Posted August 7, 2020 It was early July since I caught any Bass on the Whopper Plopper. Got three yesterday on the Bone 90. Last one was foul hooked. 12 Quote

Super User NHBull Posted August 7, 2020 Super User Posted August 7, 2020 Dedicated the morning to deep DS (40-50 FOW) and put 12 in the boat, 6 being within a couple ounces +/- of 3lbs. While I am late to the DS party, I am now a believer. 14 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 8, 2020 Global Moderator Posted August 8, 2020 Started and ended my day the same way, catching a keeper off the ramp boat ramp on a Ned rig. Only had to catch 38 shorts between the 2 ? My wife was out of town most of Wednesday and Thursday with her mom, so the boys and I did a bunch of fishing. Wednesday was creek fishing. No bass, not many fish, but we caught one that made up for it. I'll make a post of it in the Other Species forum though. Thursday we went to a reservoir and caught a mixed bag and a couple real nice smallmouth and Lake caught a great spotted bass for Kansas and had a really nice smallmouth to the boat when it just kind of let go. Finn helped me land a 3.69lb smallmouth Lake caught a healthy channel cat on his Ned rig. We caught several fish before making a run to my deep water spot and really catching a mixed bag. I probably caught 20 crappie, several white bass, a couple drum, my biggest smallmouth of the day, and Lake caught the spot and I caught one much smaller than his. Finn seems to be over his fear of touching fish too. While he wasn't looking I hooked this channel cat on his little Dock Demon and tossed it back in the water and told him he needed to check his pole. Man the giggles and excitement when he found out he actually had a fish (he normally has a crankbait with no hooks because he doesn't have great control of where his cast go yet), were priceless. He was so proud of his fish that he caught on his pole, it was great. 18 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted August 8, 2020 Global Moderator Posted August 8, 2020 Caught a couple with @Bluebasser86 bladed jig in what I think is milfoil 12 Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted August 8, 2020 Super User Posted August 8, 2020 Got 17 by lunch time, mostly on zoom flukes. Nothing on the frog or pop-r first thing in the morning. Caught a couple on a watermelon orange finesse worm, and the june bug uv speed worm. Still no hawgs, but I got this one at least off our big spring at the southeast corner of the lake. 15 Quote
Way north bass guy Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 Went out to one of our favourite little local lakes this morning. Water was like glass all morning. No real monsters today, but we stopped counting at 30 bass and managed a few half decent fish. Most came on a Strike King squarebill, with a few more on a drop shot. 15 Quote
Super User NHBull Posted August 9, 2020 Super User Posted August 9, 2020 Drop-shotting 30 FOW yields more than Bass! 20 Quote

Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted August 10, 2020 Global Moderator Posted August 10, 2020 We had some friends hiking the smokies from the highest point in TN down to Fontana lake in NC. They needed a boat ride across the lake, said they would be at a certain spot at 4:30 (no cell service). Luckily the coordinates were spot on and we found the spot by maybe 2 pm and sure enough they emerged from the woods 26 miles and 2 days from where they started at 4:27. I also found a nice smallmouth or meanmouth, I dropped it in the lake while attempting weight and measurement. Seemed like a 19” fish. The water was super clear, my fiancé snorkeled around and spotted all kinds of fish 22 Quote
