Well, we had great weather for the first week of bass season.  Water level is low.  The bass bite was about average.

Sunday 17th:   40 bass for the day.  Brian's best, 4 lb 9 oz, 3 lb 1 oz, 3 lb 7 oz.  1 double header.  Landed some stocky bass the first two days!
Monday 18th:  28 bass for the day. Denises's best, 3 lb 2 oz lunker of the day. We had 2 double headers.
Tuesday 19th:  17 bass for the day.  Finally got some rain early in the morning.  Wind picked up in the afternoon forcing us to fish south of Apple Island.  The bite was really slow.
Wednesday 20th:  36 bass for the day.  Brian's best, 3 lb 9 oz, 3 lb 5 oz, 3 lb 3 oz.  Denise just shy of 3 lbs with a 2 lb 14 oz.  Blazing hot sun today!  Light wind in the a.m., wind picked up in the afternoon.
Thursday 21st:  7 bass for the day.  Suckiest fishing day of the week.  Got real windy!  Only fished in the morning, no after dinner fishing today.
Friday 22nd:  21 bass for the day.  Put in a lot of hours today, but the bite is slow.  No 3 pounders.
Saturday 23rd:  30 bass for the day.  No 3 pounders.  1 double header.  Brief 5 minute downpour.
Sunday 24th:  14 bass for the morning.  Hot and sunny!
Wrap up-  216 total bass for the week.  9 bass over 3 lbs.  1 bass over 4 lbs.  Still searching for a 5 pound lunker.  All and all a great opening week again!  Weather was awesome!  But we really need some rain to get the lake level up.  Till next time...

Fishing report Oct 7th to 9th

Denise with a bass on a beautiful fall day.

Last lunker for the season! 3 lb 8 oz Oct 8th.  Browns Bay. Denise caught a 2 lb 8 oz at the same time for a nice double header.

Well, this is the last fishing report of the 2011 season.  We had a spectacular Indian Summer weekend to wrap up the season.  Just couldn't ask for better weather.  The lake's water level is low to normal, which is great compared to last years extremely high water.  Friday the 7th I fished alone and caught 8 bass.  Best for the day was a 3 lb even smallmouth.  Saturday the 8th we caught 11 bass and 1 small pike.  Evening fishing was better than morning.  Best for the day was a 3 lb 8 oz largemouth caught in Browns Bay.  Didn't fish much there all year but it was pretty good right around sunset.  We had one double header.  Sunday the 9th we could only fish for one hour because we had to take the boat out bright and early.  Caught 3 bass in Browns Bay again.  So 22 total bass for the weekend. Another great year in the books!  738 bass caught and released.  Best was 4 lbs 3 oz.  Still searching for the 5 pounder!    Until next year folks...      Fish On!

Oct 1st & 2nd fishing report

Black Lake October 2, 2011

It was tough fishing this weekend.  Overcast, windy and rainy weather both days.  High temperature on Saturday was only 47 degrees.  I managed to fish Saturday from 8 am to 1:30 pm.  I only caught 11 bass.  Caught 1 pike too.  I had to stay near Conger Island the whole time due to high winds.  No fishing on Sunday.  Went home early.  Next weekend will be the last fishing of the year.  Time to close the cottage.  Until next week folks...       Fish On!

Sept 24th & 25th fishing report

Sunday the 25th pontoon boat cruising in the bay.

Another pic of the bay on a nice day.

Denise didn't fish this weekend so there are no pictures of bass this week.  Plus I didn't bring any big ones back to the dock for her to photograph.  Saturday the 24th brought overcast skies and a light drizzle all day.  I managed to catch 16 bass for the day.  The biggest was a 2 lbs 14 oz smallmouth caught in RPBay.  In the evening the action picked up in Lonesome Bay, but I couldn't land a big one.  Sunday the 25th was a beautiful day.  Clear blue skies and temps in the upper 70's.  I managed to catch 13 bass in the morning.  We really hated to pack up and leave on such a nice day.  Plus the fishing is improving after a slow spell.  Oh well.  Such is life.  Maybe next week we'll catch the big one.  Until next time folks...      Fish On!
