Bass Harassin 7/19

[NorthJerzyG]

Went out yesterday to check out a nearby lake I hadn't had a chance to fish yet. Had a nice cool, overcast, even foggy morning. Unfortunately it seemed to burn off and become bright and sunny right about the same time I got on the water. The launch was a challenge to say the least. Usually takes me 5min or less to load all the gear and launch. This trip it took 25mins and 3 trips back and fourth to the car........

So, needless to say I earned every fish I caught. Luckily the bass didn't seem to mind the blue skies and heat. Hooked up a few bucketmouths in the 17-18" range. Catch of the day was a surprise 20" smallie on a spinnerbait. Spinnerbaits & swim baits did the damage.

The heat drove me off the lake after a couple hours but it was worth it. I'd definitely go back for another round but not unless I have someone to help me out, lol...........

Edit: No 10# bass were harmed in the making of this report........

I'm guessing you'll be back to that lake? And next time, you'll have the launch issues down pat. Decent bag, dude, real decent.
