A BassWork Orange-less... or NASA-ing In The Rain
I was supposed to get out early this morning onto NASA Lake... but my daughter had other plans. Got the girls on the school but at 7:30... chores finished by 9am... 9:05 AM my oldest call from school... wants me to pick her up because she is "Sick".
... got on the water by about 3pm. Met BA at the launch and the rain was constant. Headed out to The Hump... I was using a hybrid and BA was on a (Drum Roll PLEASE!!!!) ..... Top Water!!
WHAM! ... in about three feet of water.
***EDIT***
It was pointed out that BA is clearly holding a Northam Spinner... oops! He did catch about 97% of his fish on a toppy... I just thought that one was just one of many!
*****
Keep in mind that its raining quite steady and it is kind of dark. In retrospect, I should have had the flash on....
We just kept nailing the smallies... me on a variety of Hybrid, suspending crank (Rattling) and senkos...
Smallies were all in shallow 2 to 4 feet of water. Largies in deeper 6 to 10 feet of water. Pike... well... pike were everywhere!! Water temp was between 60.7 and 61.2 the whole time out.
I caught a decent largie...
We ended up with about 20 or so fish between the two of us... off the water by about 7pm.
But the day went to Paul for two reasons:
Reason 1:
Just a pig...
Reason 2:
He lost the biggest smallie I have EVER seen... he got it on a toppy... but he had it lightly hooked and it jumped while along side of the boat... no net... no fish.
What a pig.
Next time!!!
Maybe it is because I wasn't wearing anything orange?

Some chunky monkeys there, Craig! Yep, she sure was raining today - I was up against the same stuff....
By the way - don't think that's a topwater in BA's hand in the first pick..
Good to see you boys still getting into some good ones...best is yet to come!
Good Fishing,
Justin

The other REAL odd thing... to me anyway... is the fight that the Largies are giving... INSANE!! It is like they are all on methamphetamine or something! All of a sudden all the ones I have been catching are track stars.Fishing 24/7 wrote:man are the smallies ever hitting hard this time of the year its insane!
No complaints... just weird!!
Where the heck have you been hiding Kevin?!!

Nice report guys. If it was raining there as it was raining in Kanata, then you are really brave to be fishing under all this rain

Apparently, due to huge demand, CPrince decided he has to draw the line:
