Fishing Forum

Saturday night was perfect on the water, with almost a full moon, hardly any wind. We caught most of our fish on Zoom 10.5" Watermelon color worms and Zoom humdingers. My son Chris threw a baby rebel white & orange belly shallow running crankbait in front of a lighted dock catching several 2 lb fish. I tried my best both nights to land a big bite on a buzz bait but no takers on this trip. We landed all our fish in shallow water with tree tops and around boat docks 3-7 feet of water.<br /><br />We fished in the North Sauty and South Sauty areas Friday and Saturday nights boating 20+ bass each night. Water Temp was 73- 77 degrees. Fishing mostly worms. We had 6 fish over 4lbs and couple of 5+ then late Saturday night within 30 minutes of each other Chris and I landed two 6lb+ largemouths. We would have had boated more big fish but lost them in the fight. My grandaughter Taylor had what looked like a 4 lb spot that jumped three feet in the air but got off. Taylor who is 14 years old, got 4 fish to the boat and was excited about her first night fishing experience. I think she is hook on bass fishing for life. It was one of those fishing trips that you receive a raw left thumb from not having much skin left on it.<br />We always practice catch and release.<br /><br />Sorry no pictures to share, it being at night the quality wasn't good enough to post<br /><br />May your nets stay wet!<br /><br />Basshopper
