I cant seem to buy a calm day to bass fish this year!! every time I get a chance to go the wind is howling!! This was my 1st time fishing Waghop. I've been wanting to give it a try after seeing all Nate's post, and I love small water bass fishing! This lake is a lot like the small waters I grew up fishing in the southeast. Was primarily flipping jigs from my kayak into heavy cover (which this lake has no shortage of) and the occasional cast of a soft plastic jerk shad, rattle trap, or spinner bait along the deeper edges of the lilies and bushes. I pulled this one 14' FATTY on a jig, then 20 min later had another one grab on only to come unbuttoned. not sure if it didn't have my jig all the way in it's mouth, or just a bad hook set. I did manage this strange orange fish a bit later on. Mayhaps you could ID it for me Nate since you spend more time on this lake than anyone.

All and all this is a neat little lake. I really hope that anyone who has, does, or plans to fish here releases their catch. This has the potential to be a primo bass lake for years and years, but it's a very small body of water with a fair amount of public pressure. If it's a fish you want mounted take it's pic, length, and girth. A replica of that fish will be cheaper, last longer, and you get to let that fish grow and reproduce! Plus, pic was a joke, but this lake isn't known for it's pristine spring fed waters... In fact there are signs warning of toxic algae and what not. Please release your catch!
