Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

Went out with fire fighter jeff(french fry) after the mwm open.  I didn't have a lot of time to kill so we headed over to the canals to see if any largemouths were still bitting.  Water was mud at best and in the upper 60's.  I only fished in there once without much luck late in the season and Jeff had never.  So we both didn't really know what to expect.  I was using a 1/2 oz football head with a watermelom bed bug with casting gear and the fry was using spinning rod with a weightless senko texas rigged.  The senko looked brown but it had a chartruese tail.  Well Jeff started out putting the beat down on me from the back of the boat.  I mean at one point i said "its a long swim back to harley if you don't let me catch up!"  I don't know the number but the sizes were respectable.  We even had a double header.  All fish were caught tight to cover.  Ladders, stairs, pilings and such.  No pics because we were having to much fun.  Largest were probably near 4 lbs.  Most were in the 2-3lb range. And jeff was a good sport and let me catch up.  I even "helped" remove some underwater obstructins so he could catch another fish. ;D 

Durand Dan and I also hit the canals. We wore them out on a wacky rigged senko. I used a KVD Strike King Ocho. I skipped it at ladders, posts, boats, etc. It was hard to go more than three of four casts without hooking up. We waxed them.

I of course was using a Nemesis Baby Bass Sickco!! ;D

  Thanks again Brad for taking me out.  You're an A-1 fishing guide !!  I'd love to get out fishing with you again.  You certainly caught up. I need to make sure to pack MORE sencos next time  !!!  That's what I get for packing light.  The Erie darter wasn't working quite as well at the end.  I did like the looks of that bedbug !!! 

No problem.  Would love to get out with you again.  Maybe before the open i nthe fall.  I will be there early.
