Bass Blast - Part 2
#1
Posted 08 July 2012 - 10:15 PM
I fished until about 3am and managed a couple of rock bass after that.
I got up the next morning arond 6am, felt like crap and was thankful that it was raining out. Headed back to bed for a bit and headed out after the rain stopped which was at about 12pm. They say fishing right after a cold front moves through can be good and after the rain moved through I hit the water.
Once again the action was fast and furious. The fish started out small but they were very aggressive, absuluelty hammering the baits. More numbers then size, but the few big ones were real Swamp Donkeys.
Then it was like a switch went off and it was lunker after lunker, not sure in what order they were caught but thye wouldn't stay off the line.
They got even bigger.
Fish are exactly where I expect them to be and once again the bulk of them came from 2-3 spots. One spot is a fish producing magent and they seem to always be stacked up on a ledge with a dropoff.
All fish were caught on SLAMMERS once again, what a shock.... Fish are all caught between 6-12 FOW.
Fished for a total of 4 hours and caught around 30 bass again in various sizes.
Sunday morning I headed out around 7am. The same scenario played out yet again. Action was not stop, small ones at first but they got progressively bigger and they were aggressive like I have never seen before. Even the small ones put up great fights and they made some radical aerial displays.
In about 3 hours of fishing I nailed another 15-20 fish. I did a lot more re-tieing of rigs today as the fight in these fish was causing major line tangles.
I seem to be dialed in on spots and bait and colour choice. My thumb was extremely raw after yet another weekend of amazing fishing in extremely hot conditions. SLAMMERS ftw.
Wishing next weekend was already hewre. Cheers.

Funny how you say that fishing after a cold front is good fishing, On the weekend we were goin for bass after a mini storm hit on the grand river north of Fergus and right after the front moved south, the fish were hitting every second cast, all beautiful smallies, very healthy lots of fight (especially on my new ultra light gear)
Good luck next weekend!

If you don't mind I would like to know! I been to rice twice this month and got skunked any tips would help
Slow presentation, dunk holes and pockets with either a dropshot rig or a jig and trailer inside/outside weedlines and any sparse patches of weeds from 6-10 feet of water. Slow is the key.
