bantam Lake 5/19
Message:
Launched at 6am off at noon. Water temps were 59/60 and holding steady. Whacky and Texas Rigged Watermelon w/Red Flake did the trick. Largest bag was 12.4 and smallest was 9.2 among 4 of 6 boats. Fish were caught in 8/10 FOW. All large mouth. Water level was low. Those that caught fish limited out a 5 each for a total of 20. Fish were stationary and if you didn't sit on a school you were SOL! Lunker was 3.9lbs. Rain started at 6:15am. Trying to figure out a pattern was difficult. Top water, Jigs and Creature baits produced little. The Silver Buddy produced a good quantity of Yellow Perch and Rock Bass. There were numerous empty beds everywhere but none of the Large Mouths caught showed any signs of spawning yet. I did spot a few bass on beds outside of the launch to the right but they wouldn't budge. The weather most likely has their metabolism all screwed up. I've fished several different lakes this year with different results each time.
