Bashan Lake 7/04.
Message:
Got on Bashan at 5am (First time on this lake) water was real calm and clear. I'm guessing about 6 - 8 feet I can see clearly and 75deg. Only one other fisherman on the water. Started for the island in the center first; fish it with a jitterbug for a while had two blow-ups. Switched to a smaller jitterbug with a broken back and son was using a popper. Nothing happen after we switched, moved on to the other two small islands on the right side. I hooked into something good on that broken back jitter bug; however he managed to throw it before I got it near the boat. :x So far I'm liking the lake, islands, lot of rocks and cover... :lol: Changed over as the morning came, started using a tube then a jig, then a jig & pig. Tried some crank baits caught a small crappie. Finally took out the 10' ribbon tail (black w/char tail) worm Texas rigged; picked up three LMB along the shore around 7:30am. Just then the water-skiers and jet skiers came out to play. Nothing since then, stayed until 11:00am. Meet a nice guy at the loading ramp who made the trip from Vernon and he caught 6 LMB using a grub. Never used grub's, looks like I'm going to CT outfitters today to purchase some grubs. Trying to load back up was an adventure; everyone trying to get on while I was trying to get off. One guy was backing in with a 25' Grady white offshore boat. This thing was huge!!! Last I seen he and his wife was trying to push it out into the lake with poles. I was nervous with my 18' Skeeter. That guy was brave..
