Finally some quality spinnerbait action! After work and the gym last night I decided to put the boat in the water for an hour or so and see what was biting on the lake. I started fishing with a wacky rigged yellow and black senko on a circle hook. On my 3rd cast I landed a 2.5lb largemouth bass, so I though senkos were the way to go… After 10 minutes of fishing structure without a bite, and the sun starting to set, I decided to switch over to a yellow and white spinnerbait with a colorado blade and larger willow leaf blade (both in silver).
On my first cast along some sunken tree limbs I landed a short largemouth. My second cast landed a ~1lb smallmouth off of a rock pile. Third cast was towards the front of a dock, and resulted in a 2lb largemouth. I took a few more cast at the structure in that cove and moved on. With success on structure, I fished the close buoys and an island near my house and landed another 5 or 6 fish. On the way in as it was getting too dark to see (I hate when it starts getting darker later) I fished a cluster of docks on the south shore of the lake, and landed another 3 fish.
Nothing was real big last night but it sure was fun to have some hard-hittin’ topwater spinnerbait action!
