Fished Bass Lake with a friend from work Monday afternoon/evening. We got on the water around 1600 and fished until dark. I was throwing jerkbaits and spinnerbaits with a bit of topwater stuff. My friend was throwing actual musky plugs and bass lures when he got tired of the heavy stuff. He had seven follows, the last came on a spinnerbait and the fish did everything but take the lure. I had two follows, one on a spinnerbait and one on a jerkbait, one fish bit a spinnerbait with no hookup and I caught one on a spinnerbait...  He caught two short, but chunky bass. I was bummed he couldn’t get a musky to bite, but he said he was happy with the number of fish he saw. He’s caught musky on trips to Minnesota, but he was happy to know there’s a decent musky fishery close to home. We were trolling to a different spot and I had my spinnerbait in the water about two or three feet down. The fish appeared out of no where and inhaled the lure. Kinda took me by surprise. Still a good fight even though it was close to the boat.

NICE catch!!  I've been itching to get over there but I'm afraid the water temps will be to high by the time I'm off again.

The surface temperature was right at 75°. Took a few minutes, but that one did swim away.
