The bigger fish came on frogs in the slop . Numbers came from brush piles .

Rest of photos from pond fishing over the weekend. Two more over 4lbs. One 4.51 and another 4.78. Both of those were on the same day as the 6.19! Was lots of fun. I’ll be returning to big lake fishing.

More putt-putt boating than fishing today but finally anchored down at the far end of the lake and made some casts. One largemouth responded, only fish of the day but made the day. Felt odd not wearing a flotation vest and I don't recommend that (it went missing, must replace it) but my butt sits on a floatable cushion. Bass quickly released. Got her on the go-to setup: green & white paddle tail worm on a 1/8 oz jig head, with medium-light / fast spinning combo. Extremely productive on this southern Maine lake.

Heckuva day today. My buddy was wanting to get a gar on his fly rod. They usually don’t get right up on surface until the sun is hot so we tried out in the main channel for bass/striper for a bit. We could see skipjack jumping all around but couldn’t catch them. I had 5 live shiners that I had caught off my dock. I tossed one near some deep rip rap and hooked something big on my light spinning combo. I thought for sure it was a giant drum of catfish as hard as it was pulling. Then I saw a big ole spotted bass bulldogging under the boat. Got him in (with lots of backreel) and it was a fat 19” fish. Upon further photo review, I think maybe it was a meanmouth. What do y’all think?

So then we go hit the gar spot around 9:30 or 10 am and they are already surfacing everywhere. I caught one small one and we broke for lunch 

After lunch my buddy finally scores on a 45” gar on a fly. 

then a few minutes later he is telling me a story and sets the hook, I can see the fly rod surging, another gar a little smaller but it’s fighting like crazy 

 

then I got a nice crappie with live shiner to end the day

Got out g. Afew after work today. Fished 4-7 boated 8 bass, 1 each on a spinnerbait and buzzbait and 6 on a choppo 120 with 1 of those weighing 3-9.

Slow day for me size wise, tried a couple new rigs that I have never threw before. The drop shot, nose hooked fluke, 3” senko  wacky rigged. Drop shot caught the most number wise around 6 small bass and 5 small pike. The nose hooked fluke caught a small bass. The wacky 3” senko caught the biggest small bass lol. I caught one pike and saw my hook in it’s mouth and then I seen another hook in the side of its face two holes in it’s face looks like the jig head had been there for a while. I cut the hook extracted that and the jig head and sent it on its way. I also caught a tiny little bass but it was definitely a chunky one, I took my hook out and then I spotted a small bluegill in it’s mouth maybe 4 inches crazy fish. I have no clue why I was throwing a drop shot in a chocolate milk pond with less than 12 inches of visibility but I did and it worked.

I’m actually jealous that you caught a gar on a regular lure.  I’d like to have one mounted.  The ones in Michigan are pretty 

 

 

Fished on Saginaw today in the Shiawassee and titabawassee rivers.  Nothing too impressive.  first fish came on a 1.5 kvd sexy shad square bill.  2nd fish came on black and blue flake swim jig That I pour /make.  Got zip on a black on blue bps curly tail worm which, I killed them on last year.  Next decided to try a strike king black blue blue laminate tube.  Lost a big fish around green point because, I thought it was a snag and didn’t set the hook.  3rd fish came on the tube.  5th fish you arnt fishing the Saginaw area unless you catch a sheap head. 
 

set a new speed record of 36.1 mph with my 1985 sea nymph and the tower of power merc 90 hp

Nice fish! Yeah the gar will hit literally every lure, it’s just hard to hook them. I usually throw and old jerkbait that’s swelled and cracked at them 

[Jmilburn76]

@TnRiver46  I never seen or even thought that anyone would try to catch gar on a fly rod. I bet thats one heck of a fight! By the video it looks like you just let them go until they tire out enough to wrangle them on in. 

[GreenPig]

Fished this morning from 12am to 7am and got a decent one on the Zoom Ol Mag Monster in 88 degree water. 1 hit 1 fish

They always save plenty of energy for when you bring them into the boat.

Got out Sunday with @HaydenS for a morning trip to a local lake. Good numbers but nothing overly big. He had one of the better fish of the morning on a Spro rat 40.

 

Hey, I know that guy! 

Thanks for posting it, haven't had my school computer, so haven't been very active.  I guess that is the one thing I can look forward to when school is back in session, bass resource 24/7!

Then you can actually learn something ! (About fishing of course)

Post frontal today with NW winds 10-15 gusting over 20, mostly sunny skies and a rel. humidity in the low 30s, so I was hoping for just one good bite - but I got two  out of 18 total; everything on jig.

Here's a tip FWIW. I'm guessing your weeds are down like mine from HOA spray schedule. I've started throwing of all things my mini blade bait and have absolutely mopped up, including some good ones. Enjoy the fro-pas for now cause the heat's coming back.

Thx - a couple here have been treated heavily. This one has a lot of deep Chara on bottom I kept finding with my jig, but might be able to work the blade over and through it easily enough. I’ll have to pull it out and see what happens. Been a few months since I last tossed it.

Is this a normal catch rate for you? Seems amazing to me

On this body of water , I probably average 40 fish a day . It helps to know where the brush is at .I've been fishing it since the 70's so know it as well as anybody . Plus I fished it for ten hours today . Thats only 5 fish an hour .

Ah yeah that's a long day...still 5 an hour ain't nothing to sneeze at.
