Dash for Cash weekend report.  We did not do well in the tournament Sunday.

Saturday Sept 14th -  Practice day. Caught 9 bass.  Cool, 45 degrees to start.  Fished 7am until noon.  3 lb 9 oz best.  Our hot spot was good first thing in the morning.  Caught 3 keepers in five minutes, then left.  Denise caught a nice Pike. 

Sunday Sept 15th -  Dash for Cash tournament day.  48 degrees, clear with s/w wind to start.  We were in the boat at 5:30 am.  Launch at 6:25am.  Pretty windy and would get very windy later in the day.  We caught 10 bass for the day, but could only manage 7 lbs 1 oz.  It got so windy by 3 pm we decided not to ride back to the weigh-in docks.  Very big waves!!!  Too risky, and somewhat dangerous with the long boat ride.  Our best three bass were 2 lbs 9 oz, 2 lbs 4 oz (smally), and another 2 lb 4 oz smally.  Needless to say we had a tough and disappointing day.  Our hot spot yesterday produced nothing today.  Go figure.  After we boated back to our cottage we snapped a couple fish pics and drove the car to the weigh-in.  The winning team had 12.21 lbs.
2nd place = 11.61 lbs.  3rd place = 11.57 lbs.  10th place = 10.04 lbs.  23rd place = 9.19 lbs gets first launch next year.  To get in the money you needed better than 9.19 lbs.
Hourly Lunkers:
1 = 4.81 lbs
2 = 4.75 lbs
3 = 5.14 lbs (Lunker of the Day)
4 = 4.80 lbs
5 = 4.40 lbs
6 = 4.25 lbs
7 = 4.84 lbs
Lady Lunker = 4.79 lbs
Biggest Smallmouth = 3.73 lbs

That wraps up this years Dash.  Can't wait till next year.  Until next time folks...    Fish On!

Sept 7th & 8th fishing report

4 lb 5 oz lunker



A windy weekend and tough fishing.

Saturday Sept 7th -  Caught 4 bass.  Fished 8 am till noon.  Fished The Devils Graveyard, which was dead.  LOL!  Fished RP and MP bays.  No evening fishing.  It was a windy day.

Sunday Sept 8th -  Caught 10 bass.  Fished 7:30 am till 11:30 am.  A very windy day.  Winds were out of the northwest.  Stayed behind Conger Island to dodge the winds.  Managed to catch a nice 4 lb 5 oz lunker on a Senko.

We had hoped to get some good practice in for next Sundays Dash for Cash.  But that didn't happen.  Just too windy.  Last chance to practice will be Saturday.  Until next time folks...  Fish On!

August 31st to September 2nd fishing report

View from our deck September 1st



Just a nice clean Black Lake bass.





 

Evening clouds rolling in before last cast.



We had a nice Labor Day holiday at the lake.  Very relaxing.  No big ones this trip. 

Saturday August 31st - Caught 28 total bass today.  The bite was on, but no lunkers.  Fished 9:15 am until 1pm.  We did well around Conger Island for a change.  Also fished near RP and MP Bays.  Caught 15 bass in the morning.  Although the weeds are thinning out, slimy weeds are still around and very annoying.  Fished 4pm until dark.  Caught 13 bass.  Upper Deep Bay was slow.  Caught most in The Cut and Conger.

Sunday Sept. 1st - Caught 11 bass for the day.  The bit slowed down today.  Beautiful weather.  Lake was flat most of the day.  Most areas south were protected from the light northeast wind.  Fished 6:45 am until noon.  Caught 6 bass.  We tried some new areas on the north west shoreline and near the bridge.  Bite was slow, even though we found some good weed lines and drop offs.  Fished 6:30 pm until 8 pm.  Caught 5 bass between Emery Island and Jennies.

Monday Sept. 2nd - Caught 3 bass between 9:15 am and noon.  Collected 6th water sample of the year.  Only 2 more to go.

42 total bass for this trip.  Had one 3 lb even, best of the trip.  Next weekend we will be practicing for the upcoming Dash for Cash and trying to find some active locations.  Some folks are catching some lunkers out there.  Noticed a 5 lb 12 oz and a 6 lb 6 oz posted on facebook.  It's a shame the 6 pounder was not released!  Theses big females need to released.  It's much better to keep a handful of smaller ones to eat.

Until next time folks...    Fish On!
