Winchester 8/7
Message:
Took a ride up to Winchester Lake this morning. Started at 5:30am and got off around 11:00am. It was a bright sunny day once the morning clouds burned off when the sun came up. Water temp was about 73. I paddled straight down to the North end of the lake. The water was like glass and there was only one boat there before me. I threw the trophy scum frog and the yum horny toads at the pads and didn't get even a hit. I moved to the West shore and began working my way South. I picked up an 11" LMB on a 5" Senko purple w/ emerald flake. It was in the northwest cove under some cover. Continued South along the West shore and the wind began to pick up a bit. I picked up another 11" LMB on a 5" Dinger green pumpkin/pearl laminated. Unfortunately those were the only 2 I picked up today. I spoke with 3 other guys who were fishing and they all either caught nothing or a few small LMB so I didn't feel too bad.
This lake has so many places for the bass to hide I just couldn't find em today. At least it was a beautiful day for a paddle and I didn't get the skunk either. I did throw a 4" tube with no bites, I tried a few new crankbaits that I picked up and only caught a stump (of which there seems to be thousands of them} Now that I'm home I wish I would have thrown a few jigs but I probably would have gotten hung up on the stumps with those too. Here's a few pics with unfortunately, no fish in them but I did catch a few ducks just as they were taking flight. As you can see from the pics this place has bass written all over it. Supposedly according to another guy in a kayak there are also some big pike in there.

Two 11"ers is better than nothing. That's pretty good seeing as it was kinda hot today with not much wind. :( I went to Morey today and I only hooked up with three fish, two of which I landed, the other got off(it was a big one :x ). My dad got skunked, as well as everyone else on the lake that was throwing soft plastic worms. I was using a black/blue jig and tossing it right into the slop that everyone else was scared to go near. So...
When the bite stops with the senkos, try throwing that jig. Get it where everyone else cant, and you may be rewarded :D .
