I know Lake Saywer gets hammered, but Carlos and I hit it from about 2 to 5:30 this afternoon and had a pretty good day. We mainly looked for bedded fish and found several. I stuck a 4 and 2. The 4 came under a dock that i knew she was sitting under. The 2 was a smallie pretty much locked down. Took some pissing him off to get the bite, but got it. Got video footage of both. Had another on video, and Carlos hooked a nice 4 1/2 while we weren't filming.

Saw some other fish that one guy was saying he stuck this morning but they wanted nothing to do with a bait. Didn't tap into a lot of other areas I know hold fish due to the time restraint, but made it work with what we had. Film footage is hilarious, especially the part where the the storage lid cracks me in the noodle. man, I need to get the hydraulic arm things replaced......

That was some funny stuff you getting cracked in the head and all. Nice commentary and sponser plugs. All I can say is bring on the next couple weekends! 8) Get 'R' Done.

Western Angler...ROTFLMAO I love it! BTW I thought we did alright for first time and all.

We'd need a TV and VCR. I'll see what I can do. We did get good footage of how to work over a bedded bass that is reluctant to strike. You should see the bait control as I fired 20-30 flips and pitches right to this thing before he stuck it. Pretty cool.

i stuck a 3 lb and a 2 lb smallmouth and 3 dinks there last night. the 3 gave a couple cool jumps, no footage though. filming take practice, i did a bunch of filming last pheasant season and only got a little bit of good stuff. most of it was garbage.

Went out to Sawyer again last night and nailed a 2lber or so along with a few 1-1.5lb fish.  Lost two nice size fish at the boat.

Jwalzer,

I don't believe you are doing anything wrong. I to have fished there several times after dark with little to no success. I just believe it is one of those lakes that shuts off after dark.

I've noticed when fishing at night that they don't bite well right after it gets dark. Usaully takes about two hours before they will start to bite again. This has seemed to be true on different lakes and ponds here and when I was in California. Maybe it's just me not figuring them out for a few hours, but that's what I have noticed. The best bet is probably a noisy bait, like a crank or even topwater.
