Super User Shane J Posted July 6, 2014 Super User Posted July 6, 2014 I'm in. Happy Fourth, too by the way, everybody! Now lets catch some fish! Quote
Nashua Nev Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 These 2 --- 4 all together --- all come in less than a foot of water, in the shade under overhanging bushes right on the edge White snag proof rubber $3 mouse was the trick today. Nothing else worked. spinner spook popr craw lizard worm started deeper , weed edges , drops etc. hope to get bigger. big stuff 5+ has been mostly elusive this past month+ Quote
einscodek Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Mine were also caught in less than 2 ft of water yesterday.. the gals have spawned and now theyre a bit tougher to find. Havent caught a 20"+ since May. Quote
MARsSPEED Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 I had a "dink" day. The cold front really slowed things down here in MD. But here's a little guy 16" Quote
lonewolf89 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Finally got to fish, first time in 3 weeks. Caught 9 LM this 18.25 being the biggest. Felt so good to be back on the water again. Congrats on last month Nev, and some nice fat ones so far this month. Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 Went out night fishing last night in the wind. Got a few fish. This fish being the biggest. 19 inches 3 lbs 5 oz Getting on the water a bit late today but I intend on fishing til dark, thunderstorm or not. Quote
Super User Shane J Posted July 8, 2014 Super User Posted July 8, 2014 Caught a few yesterday at Rollins before I couldn't set the hook anymore because of a d**n pulled muscle or something in my right elbow. 75.5 degree water, bright sun, pretty windy. Anyway, here's the only photo-worthy one, a 19.5" that may or may not count (funny thing, it went 3-5, just like Maine's 19") . Didn't realize the scale didn't show up in the pic. Jitterbug, either way, I don't care. Anyway, caught on a 1/2oz Seibert Outdoors Big O Brush Jig, with a Rage Smokin' Rooster for a trailer in a laydown in 4' water. Actually caught 3 off the same tree in one sitting. 1 Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Got to the lake yesterday about 9-930 am. there were a few other people that had already launched. The water was up a bit from the recent rain. The wind had already started blowing pretty good which always sucks for controlling my small boat. It was partly coudly with the wind blowing 10-15 mph out of the south/southwest. Started the day fishing an area with lots of trees that was out of the wind. My lure of choice to start the day was a rubber worm. After a few casts around one of trees I caught my first decent fish of the day an 18 " 3 lb 3 oz largemouth. Fishing some more around the trees I caught a few more fish in the 2-2.5 lbs range fishing a jig. After a while I decided to motor over to another area of the lake. The area I went to was a huge weedy flat and cove. There definitely fish there. I started catching a lot of smaller fish 1-2 lbs mainly on a texas rigged rubber worm. Switched over to a frog and on the first 3 casts caught three 2 lb bass. Fishing a top water frog is always fun especially when they really want it. Once I was done with this area I went to a rocky point. Casting a crank bait and bumping the rocks I caught 4 smallies all under 2.5 lbs. I could see a storm rolling in so I decided to move to an area where I could fish out of the wind and be near enough to shore if I have to get out of the boat because of a thunderstorm. It started raining but thankfully there wasn't any lightning or thunder. In the rain casting a spinnerbait I caught a decent fish. 18.5 inches 3 lbs 4 oz The wind had calmed with the storm and I was very thankful of that. I have had great days fishing in the wind but for the most part I rather wouldn't have to deal with it. The stormed passed and it was getting a bit later in the afternoon. I fished a couple more spots and was picking up fish every now and then on a jig. I decided to spend the few hours just fishing a few trees I hadn't fished yet that day. After a long ride with the trolling motor I arrived at the are I intended on fishing. It began to rain again. It was a very light rain with calm wind at this point. Fished around this particular tree for awhile with a rubber worm and jig with no bites. I moved in closer and was pitching to small openings in the tree when I felt a bite way down in the thickest part of the tree. I set the hook and the fished gets wrapped. I work the fish out of the tree and over a couple tree limbs. It looks pretty big, after a spirited fight by the boat I net her. It is a big old bass with shoulders. Unfortunately it has a super skinny stomach. Its an odd shaped bass for sure. I wish it had a big fat gut to it. 22.25 inches 6 lbs 6 oz If that fish had a gut to it I think it would have been well over 7 lbs with the shoulders it has on it. After catching another smaller fish off that tree it was off to the next tree. It was still lightly raining. This tree is in about 15 feet of water and is completely submerged. A few trees limbs come up to with 5 feet or so of the surface. I make my first cast with a jig. It settles to bottom and then my line jumps. Set the hook and the fight was on. The fish come up near the surface and it looks really, really long. It takes some drag before I can get it the net. I grab it out of the net. It has a huge mouth that I could easily fit both my hands into but it is deathly skinny. No stomach and it was unbelievably skinny around its back bone. The fish must have been sick or it was about to die of old age. I think personally it was near death. 23.25 inches ONLY 5lbs 5 oz Again I wonder what that fish could have weighed it was healthy and had a good girth to it. Oh well it is what it is. A long skinny old bass that probably was over 15 years old and about to die of old age. Another 30 minutes fishing that tree and it was time to make another move to more trees I know of. Once I got to the trees I started again with the jig. Picked off a few smaller fish and was debating which tree I was about to fish next. As I was thinking about where my next spot would be I see a small tree near where I am. It is a small birch tree overhanging the water with the tip just barely in the water. I figured that should get a cast before move to another spot. I pitch my jig up underneath it. I pick up my line and it is swimming sideways. Set the hook and the fight was on. I can see this is a better fish with some girth to it. Of course the net is out of reach so I lip it into the boat. This fish has some girth to her, big time. 21 inches 5 lbs 13 oz The rest of the day wasn't nearly as productive. Fished right up until dark, loaded up my boat, and made the long ride back to Vermont. Considering it was July I think it was an amazing day. Its too bad that the 2 longest fish weren't fatter but I am still just as happy to have caught them. Finished the day with 21 largemouth and 4 smallmouth. Today I caught fish on a rubber worm, frog, spinner bait, crank bait and a jig. The rubber worm caught the majority of the fish I think but the jig caught the bigger fish. Biggest 5 fish of the day went 6-6, 5-13, 5-5, 3-4, 3-3. I wish that would happen during some of the tournaments I fish. I will be back on the water this afternoon this time I will be back in VT. 1 Quote
