    The Whopper Plopper size 90 in bone color was a killer bait for pike and bass on East Rush Lake. I fished the far south end of the lake. It’s shallow and has lots of submerged weeds where the bass and pike like to hide. I could see areas between the taller weeds that created openings to pull the top water bait through without hooking weeds on a retrieve. This part of the lake only gets to about 4 feet deep. On this day, the winds stayed low for about 3 hours and thrill of blow ups and catching fish was irresistible. I caught lots of bass, the biggest being the 20” toad shown in the pic. WOOHOO! :)

    I started the day throwing top water only limited success so I transitioned to dock fishing and the slow fall of a wacky rigged senko was money! The fish were holding only on the front of the docks and only if they weed free, docks with weeds under them did not hold fish that day.

    I was actually fishing for Largemouth bass, working the inside of a point (8-10' of water) letting a chatter bait fall about 6-8" before starting the retrieve. The northern hit the bait once I started reeling after the fall, and turned out to e 30" long!
