Another poor trip for catching bass. But good times had as usual. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics to share from this trip. Lake water level has dropped around 1 foot. Thank God!
Wednesday July 24th - Only caught 1 bass today. Cold and windy morning. Had to fish in wind protected area behind Conger Island for a few hours. Needless to say, the bite was not on.
Thursday July 25th - Caught 12 bass today. Fished 9:45am to 1 pm. Wind has been out of the northeast for a couple days. Caught fish near MP Bay, RP Bay, The Cut and UD Bay. Decent day but not spectacular. No evening fishing.
Friday July 26th - Caught 8 bass today. No morning fishing. Fished 7 to 9 pm in Upper Deep Bay. Caught a nice 3 lb 7 oz but unable to take a picture to post. It was the biggest catch of this trip.
Saturday July 27th - Caught 11 bass today. Cold morning and hot afternoon. Pretty common for Black. Light northeast winds in the morning changing to southwest in the afternoon. Put in six total hours fishing today. Had some light rain in the evening. Fished about eight of my favorite spots and none of them had good action. Best bass of the day was 3 lbs even.
Sunday July 28th - Caught 6 bass today. Fished 8 am to 11 am. Fished Emery Island shoal, RP Bay and MP Bay. Heavy rain moved in. No evening fishing.
Monday July 29th - Caught 3 bass today. Fished 7:45am to Noon. Bite is off. Except, for one giant Channel Catfish I caught in Upper Deep Bay. Estimated weight 20 - 25 lbs. I played it for a long time before it tired out and I got him to come up to the boat. It was massive and ugly! I've caught some big Dogfish (Bowfin) and Carp before, but this was my first Channel Cat.
So only 41 total bass for this trip. Still a tough year. The search for Lunkers and a 5er continues. Until next time folks... Fish On!
