Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

 after working in all the flower gardens this morning and using 48 bags of red mulch my wife asked if i was going fishing-wel duhh!!, was loaded in 5 minutes and got to the lake in 20 minutes, surprised not many cars at the launch, water temp was 69 at the ramp and 6 7 at the north west corner of the lake .

found some males guarding the nest and also some gills doing the same thing, I had a red red eye shad that i found out later was a 2 knocker tied on and started making long cast with my old berkley 7 ft lightning rod with 15 lb cxx, caught a nice 15" and also had a green pumpkin power worm texas rigged just for laughs  and while i was talking to my buddy on the phone a little 12 " hit it!! so i threw that a lot more and managed to get a nice pb tie off of his bed with the same worm!! had to leave early as my father-in-law wasn't responding at the nursing home but he's ok now. taking my grandkids and their mom and dad this saturday-oh boy! guy told me where the red ears are so i'll see about taking the kids there this weekend..

Sounds like a good day !!!

Sounds like a busy day!

went back to Dewart saturday with my family and water was 69 degress! went to the east side to calm my granddaughter down-she's only 5- and i was throwing a black and blue Lockjaw jig with a rage craw to match and caught some nice ones off the shallows and my granddaughter caught a nice 16" . she was throwing a pre-rigged worm- and the bass pulled her tip into the water and she wanted to give the rod to her dad-lol. she was slightly excited, and i was happy as a proud grandpa could be, got off around 1.30 and had a good time

Good for you karol!
