Solid Bass Action on the South Branch

[catfishonthelake]

My lady and I were out in a canoe for a couple hours. After striking out in the first hot-spot, I found the fish and had about 8 largemouth in about 40 minutes. I could have had a few more, but we anchored up and tossed some corn and carp bait out after we saw the mud clouds and the bubbles. Got bored of that pretty quick so went back to bass fishing and got a few more. One of the bass looked like it got slammed by a pike. Also saw what must have been the same trout jump clear out of the water 3 times in the same spot. I would have loved to have hung out there all afternoon since I was getting nailed every other cast and knew there were bass, trout, carp and probably at least one pike, but we just didn't have the time. Only April though and that spot will be golden until mid-June. Nothing beats the South Branch in my opinion.
