Comments

We did very well on the bass tonight thanks to the guiding of Ben. All the fish that were caught were LMB, except for Mike who caught a SMB and Ben who caught one pike. Unfortunately we had to give big fish honors to Mike.
Just about all types of baits produced fish, with crank baits being the best. We caught the best and most fish on rocks or very close to rocks, however some fish did come from the weed edges. I had fished this area once a very long time ago, but after our success tonight I will be back

Observations:

We caught a good number of fish tonight, but the average size seems to be smaller than what I catch on pool 7. However we did catch some nice fish, so maybe it is just the time of year and the type of bite.
