The past two weekends I have been able to get out and do some quality bass fishing. On Memorial weekend, my girlfriend and I fished some local lakes for both largies and smallies. It was very interesting to see both the largemouth and smallmouth in the same areas, but at different stages of spawn. The smallies were starting to finish up, while the largies were just moving up. We caught fish on skakey heads, sencos, and jerkbaits. The key to catching fish on the jerkbaits was constantly switching colors. Some of the smallies were so picky regarding the color of your lure. On the weekend, we managed about 100 bass. Nothing big, but a lot of 14-16 inch fish.
This weekend was a different story. We finally found the big fish. We caught these fish using the same presentations the weekend before, but we did find a good topwater bite as well. We found a nice area were the big post spawn females were hanging out, and we got several blow-ups using a prop bait. A lot of blow-ups, but not a lot of hookups for some reason. On the weekend, my buddy and I ended up with 135 bass. It was great watching these big smallies come up and eat a topwater bait. Here are some pictures for you guys.
