Another typical day of summertime junk fishing. Just kept moving around and throwing different baits. A chatterbait seemed to work the best and cover water. Not a ton of bites but the quality was decent at about 3lbs average.

It seemed the fish were a bit off the docks that day because of the cloud cover.

Tough day of fishing. Had to cover water to get bites. Most came off a chatterbait or fishing a senko under docks. Did manage to get a 4.5lb largemouth. Not a ton of bites today but quality was there.

Fished Delavan this past weekend and the dog days of summer are officially here. Dragging a Carolina rig (3/4 oz) lead, brass or tungsten weight with a 12 inch mono or flurocarbon leader with a 5' Black and Blue Yamamoto senko. Seemed to get the Job done on 15 ft weed edges.

Dragging a LS Lures 3/4 oz Mop living rubber football jig on the south Side of the lake produced multiple 3+ pound bass. Finding shell beds on side imaging allowed me to key in on were the bass were sitting on.
