WanderLust Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Very nice Wanderlust. That'll get the heart pumping! It was the most epic night of fishing for me ever. 53 smallies in 3 hours with 5+ being 18" or better. I went through (2) bags of bait & caught (7) at dusk with the buzzjet and Kelly J. Was truly a great night to be fishing. Quote

Those days seem to be few and far between for me, when you get them, it's hard to leave the bite...Great job Wanderlust! Glad you had one of those nights, must have been a great stress reliever for you. Quote
Bass9Man Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 What's going on Jersey. I caught a, 1.5lb on a Jitterbug. Quote
Super User webertime Posted July 18, 2011 Super User Posted July 18, 2011 Fished a tournament out of Missisquoi Bay on Champlain yesterday. I got a 3.8lb (weighed at weigh in) Largemouth on a Stanley Ribbit. We boated 35 Largemouth 1.5-3.5 lbs it was a crazy crazy day TruTungsten Frogs, Rage Shad, Ribbits and Timber King Spoons were the hot topwater baits. 1.5-5 FOW. I also pounded them by flipping T-Rigs but don't hold that against me Side note, a guy weighed in a 5.21lb Smallmouth what a BEAST!!!! Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted July 20, 2011 Super User Posted July 20, 2011 I caught a monster last night on a rage shad but I didn't measure it like a dummy I completly forgot and was so stoked it was longer then the top of the canoe was wide my nephew weighed it with his rapala digital scale it came across at 7lbs even but I didn't measure it so it no counts but man was she purty and faught good. I got pics they turned out crapy it was late and the flash on our phones suck. But I found the fish and I will be back to measure and take better pics I had a 20lb bag easy last night with my top 5 but only 1 was topwater it was the biggest Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted August 1, 2011 Super User Posted August 1, 2011 Is it just me or has the topwater bite disapeared no mater where I throw it and when I don't get bit now. I got 1 like 2 weeks ago but it was a dink Quote
Super User Jigfishn10 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Super User Posted August 1, 2011 Not just you...last year I would have started culling a week into this, this year I can't get a sniff on topwaters. Quote
Super User Shane J Posted August 1, 2011 Super User Posted August 1, 2011 No way! Every morning I fish, from around 4:00, to about 5:30, I cannot keep the bass off my Black Neon Rage Shad. About a week ago, I had 18 fish ranging from 1.5 to 5lbs all in under an hour and a half. So fun! You guys are lucky I keep forgetting about this little contest. I actually wouldn't stop to measure them anyway when that kind of bite is on. Good luck to you all, though. Quote
Super User webertime Posted August 2, 2011 Super User Posted August 2, 2011 It's been HOT and Bright up here. The TW bite is tough this year for sure, when they are active they aren't fully commiting to the hits. Hopefully it will get better. Quote
GrundleLove Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Didnt have tape measure on me. Using an Anaconda that Jones gave me at the last get together: Thanks pal! EDIT: was adjusting over exposure and decided to mess with photoshop, floating hand rofl. Quote
grampa1114 Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 Sewing tape measures are a dollar...at Wal-Mart...put one in your tackle box...who knows when you might catch another fish... grampa Quote
grampa1114 Posted August 15, 2011 Posted August 15, 2011 So I just got back from Champlain and caught a ton of fish...but...there I was...in the back of Carry Bay and it was calm...and it was first thing in the morning on an overcast day...So I got out my buzzin' frog and started tossin' it over the Lilies and thru the reeds...Slam!!! a Bowfin missed the lure...three casts later a 2lb Pike came to the boat...15 casts later an 11" Largemouth got a waterski lesson...and that was that. grampa Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted August 15, 2011 Super User Posted August 15, 2011 In the past month I think iv caught 1 on the frog and that was yesterday and I wasn't even fishing lol. I had the pole hanging over the edge of the canoe paddling out into the main body the scum frog was just over hanging on 2ft of slack like and bam a 14incher slams it I didn't even touch the pole just grabed him by the back pulling him in Quote
backwater4 Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Man, I can't even buy a topwater fish. Hopefully this week is the week. Quote
Super User Shane J Posted August 17, 2011 Super User Posted August 17, 2011 This Morning I figured I'd throw a few on the board. I caught a bunch in the 2lb range, and figured I could cull some of them, but only landed one bigger one, and lost one more monster (probably a 6 or better), all on the Rage Shad this morning (black neon in the dark, and gr pump/chart once it got brighter. Here's my 4 for now. All calculated on the BR fish weight calculator (which is light on bigger fish, because my biggest one today was actually a 5-9). When does this thing end? Anyway, ended with 18 fish today, and 9 of those were on the Shad. Have fun out there, guys! L=14.75" G=11.5" Weight=2.45 lbs L=14" G=10.5" Weight=2.02 lbs L=18" G=15.25" Weight=4.84 lbs (fatty!) L=14" G=10" Weight=1.92 lbs (skinny) Quote

Super User Jigfishn10 Posted August 19, 2011 Author Super User Posted August 19, 2011 Finally got 2 fish to hit my topwater: 1 was a pickeral and the other, a bass, was an inch and a half longer than my Spook Jr. I didn't have anything small enough to get a girth measurement...LOL does that qualify? Quote
Super User Shane J Posted August 20, 2011 Super User Posted August 20, 2011 I'll be back on the water tonight to round out my limit, and cull all the little guys hopefully. I'll post up the results tomorrow, because it's gonna be a long night. Get on 'em, everyone! Hey, when does this wrap up, anyway? Quote
