Managed to sneak out for a few hours of fishing today. Another beautiful day on the water. A little crisp in the air in the mornings.

Didn't take long for the 1st hookup. On a football jighead in about 8-10' of water. About a 1# LMB.

I start noticing a few bass swimming along the outer weedline in about 10-12' of water. So I started throwing the crankbait around.

Didn't take long before a hookup on the crank. Turns out to be another small LMB.

I start rotating the dropshot into the mix just in case and again, a quick hookup and another small LMB. Interesting because I typically catch only SMB along this shoreline.

So first 3 bass, with 3 different techniques. I stuck mainly with the crank to try and keep the perch at bay. It worked for the most part but still hooked up with a few in the mix.

So with 2.5 hrs of fishing. Landed about a dozen bass. Majority of them were LMB. 2 SMB and 1 rock bass. Several perch. No real sizes to them. Maybe 1.5# on biggest fish. Good action though. Nice to be out.

Great report, Fool. Glad I wasn't the only one to experience The Invasion Of The Baby Bass on lake Sammamish this week. I went out yesterday (Sun 8/5/21) and was amazed that in nearly all my favorite smallmouth holes, the only fish biting were these bluegill-sized largemouths. Over and over and over. Ready to head in and I figured I'd go graph a favorite deep point to see if anyone's home. Bingo, fish on the graph, and soon a few nice drop-shotted smallies in the boat. Also picked up a bonus 16inch cutthroat who is in the brine now, and ready for the smoker tomorrow. Tight lines.
