Lake Saltonstall 7/10
Message:
Great day on the water at Lake Saltonstall today with Mikejiggen. My best day this season! First ones on the water at 6am. Finally got own motor and battery so we got the boat and were off. Both of us hooked up relatively shortly to beat the skunk right away. Worked the shoreline, focusing on cover & shady areas along the bank. I mostly threw a frog in the hydrilla mats & Mike worked the outside edge of the weedline with a shakeyhead. We caught a nice drift all the way down the lake. Mike got this nice bass with a paddletail swimbait. The fish destroyed it. At $3 each, these could be some pricey fish!

Mike had to duck a few flying frogs as I got a little too excited and whipped it back as soon as the fish popped on it. I didnt even realize I was swing setting the hook (going back and forth from a t-rigged worm). Mike kindly reminded me to set the hook upwards and I landed a nice bass shortly afterwards.

I got some dinks that were literally smaller than the worm I was using. My 3 best were all nice fish and the blow ups on the frog kept me entertained all day...even if I wasnt catching them! I know this lake is going to give me my 5. I have been going with Mike on Tuesdays and we are starting to develop a nice pattern. Only a matter of time. Special thanks to Mikejiggen for piloting the boat all day and putting me on some nice fish. My turn next time...
