Tough fighting Spot

Today finally warmed up to about 55 with West winds of 1-4 mph.  I busied myself this morning with all my chores and headed for the lake at 10:30 AM.

I unloaded and tied on some baits and headed out of the no wake zone about 10:45.  

Water Temperature varied between 46-48 so I headed to a rock cliff with Northern Exposure.

I threw a jerk bait for about an hour with no hits.  I changed to 1/4 oz black/blue hair jig (Punisher) and a black Zoom Super Chunk Jr. with the tails dipped in Chartreuse Dip n Dye.  The dye turns the Black tail a dark green.  Well, it wasn't long before I landed a nice Spotted Bass; almost 3#.   Three casts later I hooked up with a smaller Spot.

Twenty yards away, just off of a deep point and up the beginning of a flat, I caught a nice Large mouth; 20" long and 5.14#.   On the very next cast I catch a 19" Small mouth weighing 4.8#.

At 2:00 PM with the wind picking up and getting colder, I called it a day and loaded the boat.  A good few hours with benefits!  Cheers!
