Bass Fishing Report; Lake Wisconsin, August 26, 2006 |
||||
|
Conditions: Conditions
today were ideal for the summertime bass angler. Heavy fog settled on
the lake early in the morning, and did not lift by the time I left the
water. The lack of sun kept pleasure boaters at home, and the calm
waters put the bass on the move. There were primarily two patterns that
worked today: a Gambler Cane Toad over the top of slop, and a white /
chartreuse swim jig targeted at isolated cover. The
Cane Toad rig consisted of a 7-foot Rogue Rods Magnum Bass Rod in Heavy
Action with 65 pound Power Pro. I worked a Green Pumpkin Pearl Swirl
Gambler Cane Toad over the top of sporadic slop. For today, the slop
that was all pads, or all duck weed did not hold fish. The best areas
had a mix of the two. The slop that held fish ranged from 1-1/2 to 2
feet deep. One fish in a slop patch was typically followed by a couple
others. Largest fish in the slop was just over 2 pounds. The
swim jig produced the best fish of the day, a chunky 2-1/2 pounder. A
7-foot Rogue Rods Magnum Bass Rod in Medium-Heavy Action with 15 pound
P-Line Floroclear was the rig I used for the swim jig. As I only had
limited time to fish this morning, I was not able to refine the color.
The bass were not by any means inhaling the jig, but working it slow and
not reacting immediately still put fish in the boat. Isolated wood and
rock off seemed to be the ticket. As with the slop, the fish were
bunched together. For
both patterns, fish numbers were not great, but size was decent compared
to other outings I've had on Lake Wisconsin
