After work bass 6/18 and 6/19

[Lard Almighty]

Despite the downpour on Tuesday, something told me I needed to be on the water. So, after work, I grabbed my rain gear and headed to a local honey hole. I was not disappointed, as I caught 4 decent bass, including one that was around 3 lbs. I also managed to catch two carp under a mulberry tree, using said berries as bait. I left after 2 hours, soggy but happy.

Today I had the same idea, hoping the rains had cooled the water temperatures and turned the bite on. I hit up Spring Lake, and picked up right where I left off. I bagged 5 bass, including one that went 2.63 lbs on my brand new digital scale.

All bass hit either a buzzbait or a weedless frog. Most fish were holed up in emergent or matted vegetation located close to concrete walls. I took my new Daiwa Viento out for its first real workout today, and it performed admirably, easily winching bass out of heavy weeds.

Pics of the two carp are below.
