5/24 - Tubes, spring pond and bolton lake
Message:
So today I got up early and packed the canoe for Spring pond, my main goal of the day was a photo worthy fish on calm water. Was on the water at 6am and landed a 12" LMB on a 4" watermelon senko within the first 5 minutes, nothing after for about 2 hours. Got tons of short strikes on the senkos and switched to a watermelon tube (something I had no faith in and never used) and got 2 small ones back to back. I think I may have found a better bait then senkos. Sun kicked up and I figured fishing pressure from the weekend had the bass finicky and packed it in. Got a call as soon as I got home from a buddy and hit up Bolton lake lower and middle. Didn't fish much as it became a beer outing but caught 2 14" bass trolling a perch xrap deep. Got a couple more on the senko and abut 5 bluegill hitting a bait bigger than they are. Switched to the tube again half heartly casting and jigging. Got a major strike from a pissed LM that got hooked good, this guy jumped out of the water 3 times and took out tons of drag. Went 16" and I estimate 3-4 lbs since I don't care enough to buy a scale. My PB from the bolton lakes. Middle and upper looks way better with more rising fish,baitfish and weeds. Also tried to sight fish this small bass for like 1/2 hour, this fish did not want anything but those 2inch baitfish it was feeding on. I must of watched him eat like 6 in the time I threw a slew of baits at it. Main this I realized today was bass eat the dumbest looking bait likes tubes and brush hogs. And the less I paid attention the more I caught, too bad that weren't bigger.

Great post man. That not paying attention thing is called deadsticking. It does wonders when you are not paying attention, picking up the cell phone, getting a bite to eat, lighting up a smoke...you get the idea.

I think the largemouth bass are finally starting to get a little more active. I know the 10- to 16-inchers are starting to bite. I just need to figure out what the 20+ inchers want to eat.
