A long weekend at the cabin was much needed and with fall approaching the bass fishing looked to be promising. The fishing this year on pool 10 has been up and down for me, one day the quality of fish will be high and the next day it is the complete opposite. Going into this weekend, I had several areas and patterns that I thought would put me on some good bassin!
Some areas that I fished had eel grass and lily pads that were adjacent to deeper water. Throwing Brovarney swim jigs into the vegetation proved beneficial to get numbers of bass and some quality keepers as well. Changing colors of jigs and grubs until the bass let you know what they wanted was very important in being successful.
The other areas that I fished this weekend were main channel areas that had the largemouth schooled up on them. Crankbaits, Carolina-rigs and football jigs worked well for me and these presentations also allowed me to cover a lot of water quickly. This was very important because not all of the areas on the main channel are holding fish. I was very pleased that I was able to put together a 5 fish limit around 14 lb. in only three hours of fishing on Monday. This is just a great sign of the fishing we will see coming up.
With cooler temperatures approaching and the bass needing to beef up before winter, the bite should continue to improve!
Hey young fella! Good to see you survived your summer vacation. I would image you start school again any day now, eh?
Thanks for the report. I know most in your neck of the woods have been reporting a slow bite. Good to see someone is still finding a few.
School? Ha, nope, I did the whole graduation thing in May and am working now
No kidding. Congrats. Or my condolences. Depending on how that whole “job” thing is treating you.
Nice report and fish Glenn. Will you be fishing the BFL in La Crosse next weekend?
Nice report Glenn.
Good luck with the new job!
Thanks guys…work is going well for me.
Blue…I will be in La Crosse next weekend
Hey Glen, could of used that info to help us on pool 10 this past wknd. Fished Bass World out of Harpers and only managed 9+ lbs. Redeemed ourselves Sunday though at Lansing w/a 4th place and 12+. Darn Ritters kept us out of the money again by a few oz’s. Had a good time fishing w/you at the Prairie BFL. See you moved up in points. Good thing I had my spots to go to!
Good luck at Lacrosse. R.D.
It was a fun day in PDC for the BFL!! How did you guys do in the 4-man?
Sorry for slow reply,still working on the flooded basement so only jump online in early a.m. You should have stuck around for the weigh-in. We took first place again! One of our team members pulled the 5-11 largy and my smally was pushing 4. We had 31+ total. We were pretty shocked with the out come but we’ll take her. Got alot of pressure for next year to make it 3 in a row!! We locked up but our team members stayed in pool and had good largys. Take care, R.D.
