Fished Steele from 7:30 till 4 heres what happened.... Started fishing topwaters....first time for both anglers on this small lake. Matt, my partner at work is on his first Bass fishing trip. Matt is rigged with a Heddon Torpedo and i with a black buzzbait. at 8:30 we breakdown to Senko's and slow down to work the docks....the water is 70 degrees at start and up to 72 at 9am. still working senkos....finally a BITE! ....Red-eared Sunfish bedding........after working through to the far side of the lake near the Lily Pad fields......as I am helping Matt re-tie his rig...my line goes tight and I set on a nice 2-1/2 lb largie. No other fish by noon......not even dinks..........unless you count slimers...one slimer at 1-1/2 lbs. on a Senko.. After a re-tool to spinnerbaits by 1:30 still no bass.....but again....as we are Yakkin!......a 5+ pound Largemouth runs to the pads but is turned and netted only to be found Gut-shot!...GRRRRRRRR.....after cutting the line and a quick release we do not see the fish re-surface so hopefully all is well with her. In summary........... 2 Largemouth for 7-1/2 pounds, 1 Rainbow Trout for 1-1/2 pounds and one Redeared Sunfish for 5 ounces. Okay for a short trip but might just kick out some bucks for parking at Coulon!
sweet i might check out this lake sometime soon
