BASS IN THE PADS
Landed over 20 pickerel today ( stopped counting at 20) and 11 bass... some nice 2 and 3 pounders... pickerel were small to avg size. Caught most fish on the frog today... a few on plastic worm... and a few on a jig with a white twister tail... Found the fish in the pads today... heavy pads... I mean... so thick you couldn't see much of an opening between them ( like maybe an inch or two here and there). Fish were blasting the frog while it sat on top of large pad leaves.... I had one really nice bass (I'm guessing maybe 4 to 5 pounder) raise its tail completly out of the water and smack my frog as I twitched it on top of the pads... couldn't get the damn thing to strike tho... Fish were blasting tons of small fry in the pads as well as hitting dragon flys that were hovering over the pads....it was crazy... fish everywhere... fished from 6am till noon..fished a small private lake that gets fished pretty heavily.... great day!
