Deal Lake Report 5/15

[snapperbluefish101]

Hit Deal Lake with Leif today. I fished with him from noon till it was time for him to leave which was around 3:00. During then we started off by the Railroad tracks and got notta, although we saw some nice quality carp jump in the distance. Moved down to another spot started to get some Bluegills and also a baby bass. Further on we hit the bridge of monmouth road and I caught some bluegill, a small Bass, and a crappie while watching Leif fish across the way. Leif tried very hard for Largemouth today without such luck, but noticing all the baits he tried today and all the casting he did, he will do very well when he goes in his Kayak this coming summer. I will bet he will post a report of him with a 7 pounder he caught on a fluke or topwater frog, just you wait...

Futhermore, later on I worked a side of the lake and caught a 14 incher on a senko, but that was about it. Find time out with Leif!

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you should be careful the way that you handle bass, especially this time of year. Bass fishing is actually closed right now, and although I'm sure you returned them, it's best to do that as quickly as possible. Laying them on the ground like that can remove their slime coat and open them up to infection. Since they're spawing now, it makes it even more important to handle them correctly.

Nice report! Still surprised at the quantity and quality of the fishing in that lake.

Nice report and pictures! As said, handle with care.....but if those fish can live in that lake they are as tough as nails.

I fished the upper part of the lake on Saturday, got two 12" bass in about an hour on a spinnerbait. Water looked a little low for this time of year.

Nice report Snapp and Leif. I'm sure you guys handled the fish ok. They are extremely hardy after dodging all the nasty's from AP that are floating Deal Lake.
