Lower Buckhorn - June 1st & 2nd

[ADB]

Well, my last exam - finally - is this coming Monday morning. (Take pity on me...I had to endure the York strike).

 

The exam should be done by 11, so right after my buddy and I are heading to Lower Buckhorn, and then coming back the next evening.

 

We're launching/staying at Bay View Resort. (West shore of Deer Bay).

 

Plus, we're gonna have a chance to try out my buddy's brand new Yamaha 9.9.

 

Should be a great way to say goodbye to the school year!

Good way to celebrate, have fun! I like fishing Lower Buckhorn for bass in the summer, there's some big ones in there.

Thanks...I'm sure we will. Hopefully the rain holds off.

 

We had decent success for bass there last summer. More numbers than size though.

I have done very well there on Walleye's fishing the weed line where the bay meets the channel using black bucktail jigs.

No pics of OOS bass please

I wouldn't mind seeing them.

Funny you mention that Billy Bob, because I picked up some black/purple bucktails at BPS for this Monday/Tuesday. Thanks for the tip.

 

We will be fishing for walleye, but I'm sure we'll get some bass, and I'd rather have a tooth pulled than go through the whining that comes with posting pictures of OOS fish

If the bite is tight, tip the jig with just a pinch of a nightcrawler (about 1"). The taste of meat sometimes makes them bite on those slow days. I like the DARK end of the nightcrawler (where the collar) is the best for tipping a jig.
