The JAY Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 Well, with the full moon upon us, I decided I'l go up to the Grand for a little smallie fishing. Short version: 2 and a half hours, 47 fish, the biggest was around the 4 Lb mark... Longer version: As I've said, I have a trip to Lady Evelyn in...8 more sleeps . I wanted to try out my light action rod with new line and some new jigs. The line totally sucked, and a big waste of $20, but the white jig and tails were a giant hit with the bass! They couldn't get enough of them. wading across the river I made a few casts into areas I expected a few little guys to be. 5 casts, 4 fish. Looks like I picked a good colour. None of them were huge, but all fought well above their 1Lb weight. Got over to the far shore and started wading my way to a honey hole I know. The fish were on fire, and getting bigger as they went. When I pullled the 3rd bass out of the hole I was working I saw a whole bunch of fish porpoising on the surface a little further up. Waded up to that point and proceeded to haul out a TON of big females. I don't know if female bass school up like that normally, but they were in there thick! Undoubtably it was my best night of smallie fishing, ever. Period. I must remember to charge the camera next time. All I got was 1 picture of a fish as they started to get bigger. My hat's off to Phenix for their jig heads! Gammy hooks rock!
Live2fish85 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 Nice. How do you know they were females?
The JAY Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Posted September 1, 2012 It was the additude they gave me when I caught them! No, I believe bass are like most fish, and the females tend to be larger. I could be wrong there though...

Broker Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 Sounds like a killer night Jay! White seems to be the colour right now down there , was there thursday night with white Mr. Twisters and nailed a bunch.
The JAY Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Posted September 1, 2012 White has been the hot colour up there all year. The bass love 'em, and the 'eyes took them with a bit of a worm trailer.... I'm going to have to stock up... And buy new line again.... Grrr....
Broker Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 I'll be tossin' some white streamers that I tied up today above the rapids tommorow night, the bass seem to have get togethers upstream of them at night.. Still waiting for that damn walleye to grab a fly
