After a long day at work today I though it would be fun to take my mom out for a little fishing. We got my jon boat ready and were on the water by 6:45pm. We started throwing dark colored senkos, my mom had a wacky rigged black and orange on a 3/0 octopus circle hook, and I was texas rigging a dark green senko. The fishing started out slow (more so for me), but really started to pick up as the sun was setting.
My mom caught the first 4 bass and started getting cocky, but I came back with a couple largemouths on a senko, she caught a few more, then I switched to a yellow and white spinnerbait, and landed 3 fish on 3 casts. After that the spinnerbait bit turned off. I swicthed between a senko and a silver pop and chug, landing a couple fish here and there, but my mom stuck with her wacky rigged senko which produced a steady bite all night.
Although I tried to come back, it just wasn’t in the cards… Final numbers were Mom: 13, Me: 9. The biggest largemouth went to me (~3lbs) and my mom had the biggest smallmouth (~2lbs). Overall it was a good night considering they just treated the lake for weeds on July 15th.
As always a little less boat traffic and little more respect on the lake would be nice, but that is probably asking too much.
