Bass Time

Remo

3 Nov 2020...C-54...Selected 7 spots to work, lure of choice, Mr Crappie Sausage Jig.  Plan to troll between them, 3 rods, 2 with 4 # test and one with 6 # test.  2 with safety pin spinners, one with Rapala Ultralight Minnow.  First stop, 7 Bass in the boat, lost a few.  Biggest 15 inches.  Troll, 3 Speck, biggest 12 inches.  Second and third stops, instant replay, 7 Bass, biggest 15 inches.  Nothing on the rest of the troll periods. Fourth stop, 4 Bass, 12 to 14 inches.  5th stop back to 7 in the boat, biggest 15 inches.  Rest of the stops were hit and miss.  Worked one of the banks to the West, not very productive, a pair of small Copperheads, more Speck and a Shell Cracker.  Morning run finished, over 40 Bass, 5 Bream, 5 Speck and 4 Mayan Cichlids.  Head for the East end, made a few stops on the way, picked up a 16 and 17 inch Bass. Working the edges, looking for big Speck and Bream, boated 9 more Speck.  Found the biggest Bass of the day, just barely 4 inches.  Bass were definitely the star today, no big ones, 5 @ 15 inches, one 16” and one 17“.  Really surprised by the size of the Bass.  Even the smaller ones are fat and healthy looking.  Have a severe case of Bass Thumb on both hands.  Peaceful day, did not see another boat all day.  All players released for another day.

Glad to see someone enjoying the canal.  Great place to fish when the wind is blowing to hard for the bigger lakes.
