Here ya go!!!

If you have a fish finder, check the water temp.... if it's around 70C like it was on the lake we were yesterday, you will not find them tight on shore like they usually do... if it's above that then tight on shore is where you will find them. I would locate underwater structure such as drop offs, humps and stumps and work them hard Oh and don't forget the weed flats. Leechman

It just doesn't get any better than that Garry Great job on getting your clients onto quality fish!!! Thanks for sharing Leechman

Sweet reward for your efforts Pete A real beauty As for the spoon, never tried before but looks like it's working pretty good!!! Thanks for sharing Leechman

Thanks again folks for your kind replies Thanks Glen Them G trouts weren't in their usual holding pattern because of the water temp being so low.... normally they're so tight to shore that it's where we find them.... had to work a little harder to locate but once found, like you said "just doesn't get any better than that Going for golden eyes tomorrow... wish us luck!!! Yeah Paul, they definitely were on fiyaaaah!!!! what a blast Will talk later!!! Jacques

Thanks everyone for your kind replies It was awesome spending time out on the water!!! Thanks again Paul for taking me out Bruce yes I did and was the first lure I tied on to begin our hunt!!! Did not hook any with it but works good.... just have to retrieve it slowly. It needs some more tweeking LOL Leechman

Voted 10 more!!!

Well folks, the mission today was for Paul and I to hit one of our local lakes for bass.... Weather wise up here is still not the greatest to put it simply.... Lots of rain and thunder storms. Woke up this morning at around 6:30am, temperature was 18C with heavy clouds and a slight southerly wind at around 5KM/H... left home around 7:15am, made a pit stop to Timmies and the way we go!!! Got to destination at around 8:00am. Got the boat launched and started working the shoreline.... Immediately tied on "The Little Woodie" and started casting.... was not able to hook into any fish.... it then started to rain quite heavily.... so we put on the rain gear and kept working. After maybe 10 - 15 minutes of casting with it, I got a hit, set the hook and it got off I was hoping to land one but alas it wasn't meant to be So I switch over to a white BigO and rigged my second rod with #4 Octopus hook and a Gulp 5" black sinking minnow and immediately hooked this beauty on the BigO!!! As you can see the rain had finally subsided and we're able to remove some rain gear LOL We did not land any bass off of the shoreline but instead caught them in the middle of the lake on a hump that we know spawns from one end of the lake to the other. On the hump is only 2' fow and on each side drops off to 15' - 20'.... this is where we caught most of our bass Water temp was 70F which is really low compared to other seasons at this time of year.... should of been in the 80's by now.... this cause the bass to be hard to find in the pads and heavy weeds close to shore. They were in a scattered pattern but when we hit the hump.... well let just say we had a great time hooking into all kinds of bass of different sizes Paul was landing great numbers on his white Northam spinnerbait & other lures that he had rigged up and I was doing the same on the BigO and Gulp..... Let just say that it was a 50+ fish day each!!! I know it's unbelievable but this lake never cease to amaze me We did manage to land a couple of decent ones and pics are displayed at the end.... Here is the ones that we were able to capture with the camera while it wasn't raining.... Enjoy Here one with the Gulp in his yap!!! And last but not least.... the two biggest ones 3Lbs 13oz on my left and 3Lbs 8oz on my right on a digi scale!!! On a final note here is the lures of choice today: Spro frog, Buzzbait, White Spinnerbait, white BigO, Gulp 5" sinking minnows in black and olive color.... Thanks Paul for a great time out bassin Hope you enjoy!!! Leechman

Some good looking bassin skdds Have you tried shallower for the eyes?? or maybe they were onto the weed flats Thanks for sharing Leechman

Great going Bruce Hope your daughter's doing fine!!! Thanks for sharing Jacques

Welcome to OFC Kyle Looking forward to reading your future reports!!! Leechman

Unbelievable Look at the size of this gator Got to love it when the hooks pops out in the net!!! Great job fil and thanks for sharing Leechman

Serious beast What a hawg!!! Congrats

I would try a 5" Gulp sinking minnow black tipped onto a #4 Octopus hook wacky style or a 7" minnow worm pumpkinseed.... locate structure like fallen trees, humps and stomps and work them hard Leechman

Brian... you know that's illegal to grow

Awesome report vanillagorilla Must of been a rush for the clan to hook into their first!!! Congratulations Looks like you guys had a fun time out there!!! Thanks for sharing Leechman

Hey Mike excellent report and pics Mon ami Duhamel is just an hour & half from where I live and you could not have choosen a more beautiful place for your vacation!!! Like others said, your son's holding a lake chub not an atlantic.... most of the lakes and creeks will hold them... they sure can put up a good tussle Congratulations to your wife for this awesome creation a real beauty!!! Looks like you guys had a great time even in this kind of weather Thanks for taking the time to post your adventure and sharing it with us Jacques

John when you get yourself a bucket of your choosing, put some juice into a small plastic container with a lid so that you can carry it in the pockets of your waders.... that way you don't have to log the bucket around all day!!! Leechman

Great report Mike I loved that vid of top water action Thanks for sharing Leechman

Yes John, you're right and so many flavors to choose from, it's unbelievable LOL but when it comes to flavor, I've only use the ones from the buckets and the smell of it is not something I would use for an aftershave LOL but all I know is that it works pretty great!!! A bucket of that stuff will last you a whole season and after using a grub or leech can be put back into it to re-energize it!!! Leechman

Can you say "Gulp flavor" LOL just J/K I'm not sure if they sell the juice by itself but you can surely buy a bucket of minnow grubs or leeches etc for that... what ever you do, don't discard the liquid.... it's the only real genuine taste that any fish can't resist LOL Leechman
