Fishing Report from Bass Lake: July 16, 2008 Heads out on the water for a half-day guiding trip with a client and his son to try and catch a few fish. Was a calm start to the morning I thought I might get a few topwater bites to start the day. I fished some shallow water pencil reeds but had no success with topwaters or senkos. The wind started to pick up so I thought I would see if I could get any quick fish off of a set of docks that usually produce but again no fish. Thought that the shallow fish might be off so I went out a bit deeper. I fished 7ft-10ft of water with a spinnerbait and a wacky worm. We did get a few on the spinnerbait but the wacky worm was far better for producing fish. We caught about a dozen solid Largemouth on the wacky worm but the wind got really strong and we moved. Went to the other side of the lake and fished a small rock shoal, again with the wacky worm (senko) and got into a nice school of smallies. Unexpectedly slow start but the fish came on mid morning and didn't shut down.
Total for the day: 12 Largemouth, 6 Smallmouth Time Fished: 8:00am - 2:00pm

 Thought I would send you a report from last weekend.. Dan Ayton-Lee and I went to fish the Niagara for the weekend.
Had a great trip Landed 60+ smallies on saturday from 1-3lbs working tubes around boulders and a surpries 5lbs steelhead.
Sunday we boated 4 walleye in the 4lbs range in a hour and then worked on some more smallies. That evening we boated 30 fish in a half hour between 3 of us, including a nice pair of back to back 20"er's I landed on slammers. Really scrappy fish in that current.
