Took a little walk over to the lagoon last night to just explore what might be going on..
Wasn’t expecting a whole lot as it’s usually in a summer doldrums pattern..
Saw MILLIONS of tiny baitfish dimpling the surface…
Saw 5-6 decent bass surface : )
Hmnnn…good signs…
Certainly way more than I expected to see in this hot weather/subsequent hot water pattern….
Fished it ultra hard…looked a little promising..
No strikes….
More casts….
No strikes..
HMnnn…should I pack it in ?
NOPE ! gotta make lemonade outa’ tha’ lemons!
Found some slightly deeper regions….not extremely choked either..
I was fishing a senko but to reach the deeper realms it was taking the senko too long to sink…
Tried dropshotting…
With many more casts..I still was optimistic !
Then….I get a real strong pressure bite that flat out began swimming….
I drove on it !
The largemouth Bass was quickly re-introduced to me as my steel sunk in and some drag did some peeling : )
Saweet !
Feels like a solid Unit !
Did a few acrobatics !
Man this fish is al juiced up !
Again..I didn’t expect that kind of zeal given the water conditions !
I lip it and snap a quick pic..
and back to the zone fly’s my 7.5” culprit “scuppermong” plastic worm !
Nice yoked up unit….kinda like tha’ mini football shape that the larger DD have !

Saweet ! Skunk OFF !
More an more casts…..
Same region….
(there was a hydrilla patch down there as opposed to the grass -oxygen rich)
Another strong bite…paused ….then another strong bite !
I drive the steel home !
Another nice solid feesh…!
Nice : )
Hello Mr Largemouth…..been a while since we talked !

Quick photo op and it’s back to the hydrilla to tell ur cousins what happened !
and that concluded my after work lagoon foray…
I fished extremely hard !
Got TWO bites
Landed TWO fish !
Grumpy suckas too ! they are clearly eating well there : )
Till next time…
Good luck out there on them thar’ waters !
