If it's the lake I think it is, yes, usually 10+ feet visibility. It tends to get a kind of blue-green bloom in the water around this time of year. Tons of deep grass though, so the fish have plenty of places to hide. 1 Quote

Super User N Florida Mike Posted July 7, 2018 Super User Posted July 7, 2018 Got out for a few hours after 6 pm. Decided to fish close to home on the shallower end of the lake. Its been rather cool for July here so the fish were a little more active than they normally are on a July afternoon here.Caught 3 in the first hour, then caught 5 off one isolated eel grass bed in 20 minutes . Caught them all on watermelon red super flukes. All were around the same size. Nothing big this time. Tried the frog after dark for awhile, but nothing doing. But it was a nice, refreshing time on the water. 10 Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted July 7, 2018 Global Moderator Posted July 7, 2018 Ribit Ribit! I stayed away from the Senko finally. I picked up my other crutch a frog. After the sun went behind the trees they started slamming the frog. I got 6 in probably 45 minutes. There's nothing better than 65lb braid and throwing a frog into the thick slop! This girl went 4-5 15 1 Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted July 7, 2018 Super User Posted July 7, 2018 Nice ! I haven't picked up any fish like that on the frog yet this summer. 1 Quote

ohboyitsrobby Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Wanted to fish a tournament with daddy so I took him to the $20 entry fee Friday night derby. Ole ned came through for him. Only time the lure touched the bottom all evening I'm pretty sure. Lol 14 Quote
MichaelCopeland Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Had 2 firsts today. 1st first was catching a bass with the 110 Whopper Plopper(also first fish of the day) 2nd first was catching a fish with four different baits/lures. 1lb 4oz on the Whopper Plopper, 1lb 1oz on a weightless Texas rigged bama craw Rage Craw with the pinchers dipped in chartreuse Spike It Dip N Glo, nonscorable bass on a wacky rigged double header red Strike King Ocho and a 2lb 3oz bowfin(not pictured because it took up too much space on here) on a 7/16oz bluegill Storm Wildeye Swim Shad. Not a bad day of bank fishing at Caney Lakes lower lake side. ? 17 Quote
Bassin' Brad Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 I took two 5" yum dingers and joined them together to make a 10" stickbait and I'll tell ya what, little fish like big worms too! The 2nd fish I caught was even smaller than this one! 13 Quote
MichaelCopeland Posted July 7, 2018 Posted July 7, 2018 Those little bass do like big worms too. Last summer I caught a major dink on a 12" Mann's Jelly Worm Texas rigged weightless on a 5/O EWG hook. Quote

Looking for the big one Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Ned rig gets big numbers in a pond full of dinks ?. This one was the second biggest at a pound and a half but I got one that went 2.6 later in the evening on a 3’ wacky senko but didn’t get pics ? 13 Quote
CybrSlydr Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 Well, today was a good day. Went fishing at Burr Oak for a little bit and caught my new Personal Best Bass. Granted, those of you that have seen my previous bass, you'll realize it doesn't take much to break it. lol Drug a whopper plopper 90 in Pac-Man along the right side of some lily pads and on the 5th retrieve or so this guy came storming out from under and smoked it. 15 Quote
Somd Fx4 Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 It may not be much for some of you but it is a PB for me in my short fishing career so far. Caught on a swing football head with a Rage Tail menace grub. 22 Quote

Super User Team9nine Posted July 9, 2018 Super User Posted July 9, 2018 Life in the shallow subdivision ponds around here can be a pretty tough living due to a variety of factors. Kind of rare to find one with a real good size structure of bass in it. As such, we get a lot of smaller fish that top out around 3-4 pounds before dying off. Managed one this weekend that was probably around as big as they get in this particular pond...at least it's up there with the biggest I've ever caught there. 24 1 Quote

Loads of 2-3 lbrs. and the occasional 4-5. Would really like to hear your insights on this. Quote
YoTone Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 this greedy 4.6 lbs bass couldnt even wait to completely swallow this poor frog before chomping at my jig. 20 Quote
WVU-SCPA Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 She decided that there was just enough room to fit a 2.75" trd in that belly. 24 Quote
Super User JustJames Posted July 9, 2018 Super User Posted July 9, 2018 That is a nice fatty bass. she can be double digit in no time. I don't think I ever caught bass that fat. 1 Quote
Arobb2012 Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Smallies liked the ned yesterday morning. I caught 11 in 30 minutes. The ned is a skunk buster. 15 Quote
Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted July 9, 2018 Global Moderator Posted July 9, 2018 Well 6poundbass and I headed out yesterday morning so he could break in his new Mike Iaconelli spinning combo he got for his birthday last week. @OCdockskipper would be proud knowing my son specifically asked for the Ike combo. LOL He ended up catching 7 in just over three hours. Most went around 1-8.He was pretty geeked. No more spincast for him. 20 Quote
