Today I went to Misch Lake with two of my buddies. I planned on throwing a popper all day, but it was rainy and there was a bit of wind coming across the lake. The air tempature was around 60 degrees and the water tempature was very warm and I'd say close to the air temp. I am hard headed so I started out throwing my frog colored popper anyway. We started in a cove off the main lake that has some fall downs and is protected from the wind. I started throwing the popper around the fall downs and it wasn't very long before I got a hit, set the hook and brought in the first keeper of the day. A Largemouth Bass that weighed 1lb 7ounces. My friend Iggy caught the second bass of the day on a wacky rigged brown Berkley Power Worm that weighed 15ounces. Me and another one of my buddies Tim continued to throw poppers with no avail. I switched to a texas rigged Power Worm and caught a dink that did not count in the summer tournament my friends and I are competing in (I'll explain more later).
We headed across the lake to calmer waters and that is when we really started pounding the bass, at least my buddies did. I caught a bunch of 13 inchers on a wacky rigged senko. My buddies caught a ton of other keepers on a wacky rigged senko and a wacky rigged Baby Brush Hog which suprisingly yielded the best results. My friend Tim caught the three biggest bass of the day including the 1lb 12oz Largemouth pictured. My other buddy Iggy had the second best day catching a ton of keepers everywhere from 15ounces to 1lb 8ozs. The Wacky rigged Brush Hog continued to suprise as it yielded the first Northern Pike caught this year also caught by Tim. It measured 19inches and looked like it weighed about a pound.
I liked my new Stren line alot it seemed to fly off the reel very nicely and the line memory was not bad. Needless to say it was much better than the Yo-Zuri I was using previously. The Baby Brush Hog gets an A+ for the day as it netted the biggest three fish and a northern pike. Tim eventually had Iggy and me caught on the to the fad of throwing the brush hog. I tried to use the Rat-L-Trap, but the lake Misch is a little shallow for it in most areas holding fish. I need to experiment with it a little more however. I don't know where I'll be fishing tommorrow, but at some point this week I will be fishing in Jackson Michigan, I'll be sure to let you know how that goes.
Good fishing everyone,
Bass-Sniper
