Anyway we got out on the water around 11:00 and headed straight for the first island. I circled the island throwing a black 1/8th ounce jig with a rubber trailer into the layed down trees. I got a couple of small thumps from what I assume were bluegill. I switched over to a 3 inch senko and thats when the action started. I caught a couple of small bass from around that island before heading to a weedy cove nearby.
Casting the senko into the cover and dragging it into the pockets resulted in a hookup almost every cast.
I lost a lot of fish as they darted deep in the weeds and shook the hook. We eventually headed for the next two islands. I was surprised to find that the area between the two is only a few inches deep.
I could see beds scattered throughout the area so I tried casting around where it drops off. We ended up catching several good size bass in the 2 lb range.
At one point I hooked into something that pulled drag and never stoppeduntil it spit the hook, I am assuming it was a carp, catfish, or a monster bass.
It turned out to be a great day for fishing between two of us we ended up catching close to twenty largemouth bass and had a ton of fun.
