After showing my mom the pictures of my recent catch she was eager to get out on the lake and try her luck. We got together around 6:30 tonight and started fishing a few of my favorite spots throwing senkos. I was throwing a texas rigged junebug, she had a wacky rigged brown and green yum senko knockoff. The first hour was extremely slow yielding only a couple bass. It was hard to tell if the weather changes were at fault, or the multiple boats racing around the lake with no appreciable agenda, buzzing us every chance they got.
Tired of fighting off the constant stream of white capped wakes on my jon boat, we headed back to my house and got our ski boat to try our luck again on a more stable vessel. Now armed with a yozuri banana boat, I was able to elicit 12-15 strikes and land 6 bass, the largest being around 2lbs. My mom ended up with 5 fish on her wacky rigged senko, but all shorts.
The fishing is definately getting tougher the last couple evenings, hopefully the break in the heat wave will stimulate the next big bite this week.
