Spent the last two days at a cottage on Bass Lake with the girlfriend. Between the two of us, we got about 40 or so bass, plus a half dozen northerns..The smallies were hitting tubes and Senkos well, and were scattered between 5 and 20 feet deep. Managed to get two really nice largies, the first on a tube jig in 12 feet of water over rock. She weighed in at an ounce under 4lbs. Later on in the afternoon, within 50 yards of this fish, I hooked into another great bass. This fish was sitting up on some boulders and wood in 5 feet of water, and smacked a flipping jig the minute it entered the water. She weighed in at 4lbs. 14 oz, although looking at the girth, I was sure she was well over 5. All fish were released alive to fight another day..
Campfire and beers during the evening and lots of bass during the day - doesn't get much better than that!
Good Fishing,
Justin
