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!
