Harvey's Lake -
September 15th 2012
- Senkos under docks as sun rises above Mountains- watermelon Green no flake
- Chigger Crawls Texas and shakey under docks.
- Winners - Cranking 20 to 30 feet of water - off ledges and grass flats
- Got a good bite on wake baits over Grass.
- Marina - think grass pitching Yamamoto blak twin tail.

Early May fished the north east -
Cara Cove grass was not in yet but bass were swimming around looking for grass to start bedding. Any place you found a grass patch or timber or even doc there were fish on them. Furnace Bay was still preety grass free but logs and small patch of grass could produce fish. We were at high tide most of the day.
- Square Bill - Sexy Shad was the ticket 1.5 and 2.5 in any shallow water.
- Chatter baits were also working in white with chart tails
- Spinner baits white
- Senkos on structure in the shallows - any place on a doc.
- Packa Craws also working well
- Silver buddies can be used but did not work for me.
- Carolina rigs seemed to work best during practice with woolly bully's
- Gold Blades are uses in stained to muddy water conditions
- Colorado's for slow and willow leafs for speed
- Look for flats and edges
- Yammamoto Hula jigs worked along with small black worms.
- Make a note to try gold chatter bait blades.

Lake Anna - Mr. Bass East April 19-21-22

- Weather stable and sunny - cool mornings and highs of 80s
- launch 6:30 to 3:30
- Fishing was tough for spring lake water was at good levels but clarity was different at each end of the lake. Muddy or stained up in the northern arms and clear down south.
- People were fishing ledges, points, sparse grass and drop offs
- Spinner baits and buzz baits- gold Colorado blades white and chartreuse
- Pop R's = white and yellow
- Skipping senkos under docks

- jigs - gp trailer 1/4 and 3/8

- Damiki - shaky head jigs
- Weighted hook for fast fall senko
- Shaky ehead worms
- swim baits - they were hitting tails but not eating them
- Crank baits - 8-to10 feet diver. sexy shad
- Cranks 1.5 sexy shad  -0 thrown along grass and weed lines and where weeds were a few inches under the surface  - 1.5 over the tops of them.
- Looked for weed lines close to deep water of 5 feet or more. These are transition places for bass to move up as soon as conditions are right for spawning.
- Up north there were bridges like 729 I think that held bays for new growth vegetation.

North East in Late September 9/24

The bass are on the move...
We found them running down shad in the backs of creeks and were throwing soinnerbaits and swim jigs to temp them to bite.

Beltzville Lake Large Mouth Bass are crankbait smashers when the bite is on.
If your looking for a clear water lake this is it. Structure is hard to find but there are some nice fallen trees in the upper arms of the lake. If you fish the lake fish early top to mid water then when the sun is high in the sky go for the bottom bite. These bass are well feed to say the least and do a lot of schooling since the structure is not that abundant. Senkos work well and pumpkin and green seem to do well for me. In the early hours you can also do well with flukes of any color right up against the bank. See ya on the water.

Off Season - Waht do ya do?

So I spent a feew hours cleaning my rods and reels and doing some respooling of line this weeked. I had left my tackle box in my boat for about 3 weeks without relizing it and well the mositer got to all my cranks and minnows. I had to wipe each one down in WD40 and then wire brush the hooks. After I sprayed them with silicom and a bit of fishing lure sent they were good to go for another season....Lesson here...take all your stuff out of the boat!
