Bass Report (4-5 pound smallie) You tell me
Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 9:43 am
Hello all, I have been lurking a while and finally I am contributing. My girlfriend and I hit my favorite lake just outside of Ottawa for some bass fishing from the canoe.
Hot day, bright sun and 5-10km/h winds.
Most of the better largemouth seemed to be sitting in 5-8 foot deep weed beds not far from pad fields. They were caught on weightless texas rigged soft jerk baits. A few were caught in the pads as well.
The smallmouths were caught in 8-15 foot depth—most off of points and breaklines using 1/8th-1/4 oz jig heads and powerbait grubs/craws/etc.
I was in a canoe and didn't have a scale or tape measure but this first smallmouth was extremely long (what would you guys guess it weighs?). Take a look at my fingers for an idea of the fish's length. Well over 20 inches.
