I have not been fishing in over a week and was starting to have withdrawals and weak in the knees. Decided I had better go. emoBig
It has been hot and humid here and today was a little better with mostly over cast sky. Got a late start and hit the water at 9 a.m. No schoolers today at all, not even a ripple this morning. There were a few little ones that came up around mid day but no size. Had to go deep. Working my depth finder I kept seeing fish from 15 to 25 feet. So that is the depths I mostly fished. It was slow but consistent. In the six hours I was out I put 10 bass in the boat with 7 of those being decent keeper. Three were small only around 12 inches. Best one was a 4 lb 9 ozer that was long and skinny. The pic as usual when you take it yourself does not do it justice. All but one came off the ol&#39;faithful shakey and the one came off a deep crank. Lost two others reeling them in. Also missed several others. Not a bad day for this time of year around here and with the best five going about 14 and a half that is not bad for around here either. emoThumbsup <br /><br />Water temp was 87 degrees when I started. Had to have some kind of structure on the drops in that 15 to 25 foot range. Tried to find rocks and brush piles. emoGeezer <br /><br />Keep the reports coming, love to read them, thanks to all who post! emoThanks Jmax
