Great Lakes Bass Fishing Forum

Went to LSC for the first time in my own boat on Friday. Started of just a little after 6am on the mile roads in front of the blue wall with the gazebo tent thing. Was in about 8 fow with clear water.  Started with crank baits and wacky rig. Could see fish roaming and on there beds. Was catching fish in about 5 min. Worked the 7 to 9 foot range for a few hrs and was catching the steady. All smallmouth with a few rock bass. Moved up to 6 to 7 fow and switched to a spinnerbait. Caught the biggest of the day on the spinnerbaits two over 4lbs and one over 5lbs. Moved over by fords cove area and came up with nothing. We then moved back to where we started and started catching them again. Was sight fishing the beds with a drop shot with the strike king dream shot in green. Was also getting large mouth on the drop shot. So in the 7 hr day we boated about 50 fish and most of them over 3lbs. Guy at the ramp asked how we did and said it was a slow day. Thought 50 fish in 7 hrs wasn't bad.

nice job nothing on tubes??

Nothing on a tube at all. used a tube for about 30min in the morning with not one bite. They seamed to like the spinnerbait in the morning the best.

Watch out guys I loading or should I say re-loading the boat for another trip 12 hours back to LSC :D Will be bringing the "Carolina Cricket" :D for the numbers bite. I hope :D the boys from Asheville are getting 80+ a day but they are running small. :o Hoping to get the numbers and size bite starting the 22nd. ;D OK May Flys just hole on till we get there ;D ;D

Well we had another great trip to LSC but cut the trip short and left Thursday two day early to the slow fish for us any way ;D We were doing 20-25 a day but very slow and having to fish whoose style which I hate. Like watch paint dry >:( Senko's 1/16 oz lead in 8-10 foot and fish from 1.5 to 2 lbs. Hoping to hit the numbers likes we have for the last two springs of 80-100 per day on power baits like swim baits, flukes, walking baits and spinner baits. Great trip hope to make it back this fall for another week or so. Got to cut the cost of the Annual Non Res. Fishing license and DNR ramp permit by using it more and more to bring per day cost down :D :D Now a question for you locals in the area is there a DNR ramp south of the Nine Mile $15.00 ramp closer to the river but not in the river. Thanks if so how about a address for the Garmin.
