T@Jigfishn10, it was some kind of peel and stick Jazz, not a great product but I reckon it will do and it was very cheap. It was like cutting graham crackers ! But with determination it can be defeated . If you look very closely it’s caddy wampus but it looks good if you are standing up haha

Got out 8:30 to 1:30 today figuring my hopes for a topwater fest gone with an air temp of 39 at launch. While i did manage 2 on a buzzbait with 1 good one at 3-13 it was a spinnerbait that did the most work bringing 11 to the boat including the days best at 4-15.

Your pics don’t look tiny. Your fish are so d**n big it gives the illusion of tiny pics. ?

we’re in full post-spawn mode now, numbers were way down, but we managed to boat around 15 spots today with a few good ones mixed in

Persistence pays off. He finally caught one from shore.

No doubt about it. His motto is on his shirt.

He’s out there religiously. After he caught that we took the pontoon out and I tied on a spinnerbait for him, no luck on that but he won’t give up which is good.

I'm beginning to think these fish are paid models who only show up for the photo shoot with you then bounce. I'm highly suspicious....J/K nice job.

And when I consider the $$ allocated to this obsession,  that's mostly the way it is.

Except the models don't always show up !

Popped out to a cove that has annually saw heavy spawning for a couple cast after work.  The 6 males I saw on beds didn't want to play and weren't locked on.  While making cast at them a big lady had moved in and out twice and the light bulb finally went off.  Back to back cast on a point that transitions from flat, deeper water, and cove mouth brought these ladies to hand.

Finally got the stank off! Hauled in a few but these were the best ones/ones that stuck around to pose for pics. After throwing Senko style baits here and there for a couple of seasons I decided to focus more on them. These are my very first soft stickbait fish (BPS brand). I'm hooked on soft stick baits now. One on the grass I estimated at 3 pounds and the other goes for about 2 pounds.

At the same time I was crossing the eyes on the ones above my fishing partner caught this nearly 5 pound smallmouth (yeah he didn't even invite me). Gonna go and try to catch his twin tomorrow.

Got out around 430. Had a friend along I hadn’t fished with for 5 years or so. ( he had took up golf, but suddenly called and wanted to fish.)

Weather was warm and windy. We caught 18 in the first hour and a half . I caught most of mine on a Houdini zoom fluke, and he caught some on the watermelon red fluke. All around eel grass.( as usual)

We got down to the south end and it was pretty dead . Cuaght a few and decided to head back towards home and kept catching fish all the way back. I had switched to the watermelon slice fluke and Bob ended up catching most of his fish on some kind of top water swim bait, can’t remember the name. 

We ended up with 30 . No real big fish,  but still a great afternoon. A4788F3E-3EC2-4ADC-B40D-B62193EBFB90.jpeg021F2248-7B66-419E-B156-C37CF17DD6D4.jpeg4B79BBD3-3C30-4803-8EE8-AE9E9CFC97A2.jpegCE9EDE98-6AD0-439C-90FC-E941AEF28DFF.jpeg985BA385-2F92-479F-A663-FA07A0A1F25A.jpeg378F96B3-02C9-4983-8A91-850EAACBE2CC.jpegACF60A55-C0EE-49D1-BDBB-7E195C2B09B5.jpegAE79CF5D-A730-430D-BDC9-FE4944A71357.jpeg

The wife and I had a ‘date night’ we grabbed the poles and hit a bridge close to us to see if any smallies were in the river. First cast with her trusty Senko and she nailed the first SMB of the year that went 2-10.

Lots of action friday on a trip to a little out-of-the-way 40-acre lake.  A Siebert Fogy bladed jig was effective when cast right up to the shoreline, and when worked through scattered emerging lily pads. Where vegetation was thicker and the fogy started hooking up on pad stems too often, I would switch to a Rage Swimmer rigged weedless on a mustad powerlock hook. This "1-2 punch" accounted for about 2 dozen largemouth in 3 and a half hours, most around 2-3lb, plus a couple of little pike.

 

Here's the best one, caught on the Fogy; wriggled away before I could get a measure, but probably in the high 3s/low 4s:

A substantially bigger one came off on a surfacing head-shake about 10 minutes later.

Don't own a scale but going to Walmart tomorrow to get one lol. Anyone have any guess on what they think it weighed? Nothing crazy but still a nice bass for my first time at the pond ?

 

Edit: Compared next to a Dobyns 734C and my size 10.5 shoe
