I arrived at the lake, and wanted to see if my pattern from last Thursday was still intact. Even though the conditions were extremely different, it was much of the same. I paddled up to a small lily pad flat with deep water on all sides, and pulled out a quick limit on a pumpkin seed Cobra Bait Deadbolt as well as one on a Keitech swing impact fat. Nothing was particularly big however.
I moved to find some more lily pads, and submerged grass, and got one more on the deadbolt. I threw the Keitech around a little bit and after making a "poor" cast, I reeled it in really fast, and much to my surprise, it got nailed by a decent fish!
After a few more fish on the swimbait, the action died a little, so I moved up to a main lake point, and burned the lure across it and got a nice 3 poundish fish. Once the sun went behind the trees, the fish stopped biting, and the bugs started. I also forgot my light in the car, so I figured I'd just call it a night.
Long, but rather skinny, fought like hell though!
Here's a stupid video of part of my trip.
On the last 3 trips to this lake, I have totaled 38 bass, including the 12 from last night. Each trip has included a fish around 3 pounds. After a few rough trips trying to figure this place out, I think I have it dialed in. I think it's safe to say, I've knocked off the 3 year old rust.
