10-25 SShore BWT Fishing Report
After thinking I was going out Friday to no avail and then hoping to squeak out Saturday only to have the tikes have other ideas (we carved pumpkins lol) I made a point to get my rig Saturday eve and load up the car that night. Hit a new to me little spot near work. It is a pond in side of a moving water system. Place looked prime and I had been prospecting from shore for a couple of weeks.
Got on the water at 730am and had a spinnerbait squarebill jig and jerkbait tied on. Water ranged from 1ft to 7ft with temps from 53 to 50 degrees. The sqaurebill did nada and the jig was not any better. Switched jig sizes and types and got through the vast brush cover much better. Got a 13 in bass on a spinnerbait in front of a clog of leaves lilies and grass. Then hauled water for bit.
Had few swipes and bats so tweaked spinnerbait colors size and blades. Finally settled on old faithful (confidence lure white w/silver double willow).
Fished well back int0 the pond and the place got better and better looking but still nothing doing. Turned to head back and fished long wooded stretch with jig had one missed pick up. Finished the run just chunking the spinnerbait and got a 14 in bass off a grass hump/rise.
Finished up near the out flow but no takers.
Rained a bit wind was mild. Really cool set up will have to give it another shot to make a final opinion. Off the water at 1030am and into work by 11am.
