Friday we had the Chapman clan out on John's Lake for a couple hours of some great bass fishing action. Enjoying a few days of vacation from Scotland, the bass were very friendly and came out to play first thing this morning.
Live bait was the bait of choice, and the Horseshoe area of the lake was the best option. Bass were mainly holding in areas of slight drop offs and chasing the bait fish to the surface. Schooling activity was not as great as it had been, but there was plenty of action to keep these anglers more than happy. As has been the case since the dog days of summer has hit us full swing, the bite really drops off fast roughly around 11am.
Several descent bass fell prey to our baits today, with the big fish of the day coming in right at a very nice 10 pounds, only problem with this fish, it was a catfish!!! We have a full moon cycle mid week next week, so we will be hitting John's Lake and going after some night time bass.
Till my next report, tight lines and great fishing!
