Labour Day Bassin

[evster]

My wife and I decided we wanted to spend today doing a bit of fishing. This is my last week with the boat I borrowed for the summer so we needed at least one more outing. We woke up at the crack of 9:30 and were down to the lake by shortly after 10. Wow, it was smokin hot already! It was probably one of the hottest days I fished this year. Maybe not the hottest temperature but absolutely no wind at all made for a rather warm one out there. With the sun high and no clouds I figured the bass would be hugging the shade. So we focused on fishing overhangs and logs near shore close to deeper water. I think we made the right call. The first decent bass of the day was this guy which I pulled off a submerged tree with a senko, he weighed in about 3 pounds.

 

 

Then I skipped another senko up to an overhang and this guy picked it up right away. A bit bigger and the scale was saying about 3 and change.

 

 

I would have been happy with those on a day like today, and those are about as good as I have gotten out of that pond. A bit later I skipped the senko under an overhang and it had to have gone 3 feet into the overhang and I just heard a big splash and could tell my line was tightening up so I gave a good hookset and used the element of suprise to haul this girl out from a nest of twigs before she got hung up. My best largemouth so far. My scale was bouncing from 5 to 6, but I figure it was just a tad over 5 by the size of it. She was fat.

 

 

The good news is I finally outfished my wife, the bad news is she got skunked and wasn't to happy about it . But I think this years season has really helped her enjoy fishing alot more. Now I just need to get my own boat. Anyone know of a cheap 14 foot tinny??? I got the trailer all ready to go .

I hear ya. Her and her senkos. This time I fished the senkos and she got to fish the real lures like flipping jigs and spinnerbaits! Kidding...she was doing the same thing I was which was weird that she got skunked.

Some really fine buckets there Evster. Enjoy the success now while you can. There's plenty of time for your wife to humiliate you on the water.

 

Thanks for the report, good stuff.

Nice buckets there evster. I've been out-fished by the wife (and others) many, many times. Keeps 'em happy and coming back for more. Good luck in your search for your own boat.
