August 17th - 19th fishing report / Zona sighting

 

4 lb 11 oz slab August 19th

3 lb 14 oz slice August 19th

Mark Zona fishing Black Lake. "Zona's Awesome Fishing Show" is aired on The Outdoor Channel.

Caught a couple nice lunkers on this trip.  Caught them back to back!  How sweet!  The weather was great too.

Saturday August 17th -  16 total bass for the day.  Fished 6:45 am until noon.  Caught 11 bass.  Fished 6:30 pm until 8:30 pm.  Caught 5 bass.  No big ones today.  We did manage 1 average size pike.  Hot sunny day.  Lake was calm in the morning and only a slight breeze in the afternoon.

Sunday August 18th -  Caught 9 bass for the day.  Fished 8:30 am until noon.  Another sunny day with only light winds.

Monday August 19th -  Caught 7 bass for the day.  Two were lunkers.  Caught a really nice 4 lb 11 oz bass.  This one was fat!  When I got it in the boat I swore it was going to be a 5 pounder.  But it was 5 oz short.  Just calibrated my digital scale before this trip so I know it accurate.  Next catch was a nice 3 lb 14 oz.  What a great morning!

32 total bass for this trip.  We burned most of our vacation days now.  Most fishing reports will be short.

We also found out that Mark Zona (from Bassmasters and Zona's Awesome Fishing Show) spent some time fishing Black Lake.  He took some time off from the Bassmaster Elite Series, Showdown at the St. Lawrence River.  Apparently he did some filming for one of his shows.  On his website he said he 'caught 60 bass on camera, flipping n' froggin'. Great Lake!'

Special message to the clueless/careless Pontoon boat who came within 20 feet of our boat while we were fishing in "The Cut", near shore -  SUCK IT!!!  YOU ARE AN IDIOT!!! 8/22 edit-  Now that I've calmed down since my initial rant , I removed one harsh word before 'idiot'.  LOL.

Until next time folks...Fish On!
