Long weekend bass

Hi All,

I wanted to share some catches from the long weekend. I haven't fished too much since spring, so it was great to get out and get into some nice smallies. They were all caught in a small lake about 20 mins outside Owen Sound. I got four on the Sunday after the rain and dark clouds that pushed through, the bite just turned on and couldn't keep them off the hook. I was using a live target small mouth crank, white jig head with 6'' black and chatreuse berkley twister tail and a #4 black fury (chatreuse). On Monday morning it was bright and very warm and I managed to land a few fish but this big beauty (last photo) was the fish of the day, it weighed in at 4.6lbs which is just shy of my PB. I wish I got a better pic but it was a heavy fish. I got this on a texas rigged (cone sinker and red bead) pumkin seed turtle back worm. Equipment: 7ft St croix Med rod with a shimano stradic 2500 and 8lbs mono line or 6'6'' St. croix crank rod with a shimano curado dhsv with 14lbs mono. Hope you enjoy.

Looks like you had a great weekend !

Fish so big that it couldn't fit in the frame...haha.

Good stuff

SMBs. Bass are feeding frenzy...lot's of topwater action lately. Saw a little kids hauled in a 3lb bass on a dollarama popper the other day.

personally, the bass have been slow in the city (GTA) but I've had a lot of success at the cottage and the Owen Sound area. Fishing top water for bass is probably the most exiting way to fish.

Sweet fish man..the last one is a beast good job!

Hi guys! Fairly new to this forum. Not sure if the bass are still active in the Kawarthas, but I plan on heading out this (or next) weekend and will let you know how it goes!

Took a trip to the Kawarthas yesterday. Bass action is hot where you can find them in 3-5 ft of water. They are still feeding which is great. Turning up fairly consistent 2-3 lbers. Hope this helps.

Nice chunky bronzebacks.
