to keep them from jumping into the boat. Well not really, but the Bass were really biting on Nothern Lake George past Sat.
We cruised around for most of the day, so I only had time to fish for 40 minutes as I had an out of town guest onboard who was getting bored watching me fish. I couldn't take listening to her constant "don't hurt the fish" pleas as I was taking fish off the hook.
So of course the fish were biting like mad! I'm sure the reason was the water temperature was probably finally in the ideal range. I had forgotten to take my GPS for the first time. But the water temp. 2 weeks ago on LG when we were swimming in same area was 77 degrees.
I find its always hard for me to hit it just right. Usually, I'm fishing like a few days after a hard rain and find that on most waters the fishing is awful. Or if the waters are cold they are sluggish and same for waters that are hot they go deep and the lesser oxygen levels make them sluggish.
I was trolling 1 mph with the lure in the pic and they were hitting it on each pass about 25 yards off one of the islands, I like lures with orange in them and the bb's/rattles in them.
I had on the line 4 or 5 Bass probably 2-3 lb range as I saw them jump out of the water. Only to shake the lure free several times in the air.
The two fish pictured I thought I had at least a 4 pounder on the line and was surprised to see that I had two fish at once on the same lure. The bigger one was a decent size but from the pic it's hard to tell that:
