Date: September 7, 2018 Body of Water: Reeds Lake Boat: Numenon With: Alone Target: Largemouth Bass Time: 7:30 AM - Noon Conditions: Mostly cloudy; ENE winds at <10 mph; 65 degrees; water 75 degrees F, brownish green, about 2 feet of visibility and high I simply never got into a productive groove on this trip. I did score a small, <14-inch bass on a Whopper Plopper from a weedy, shallow flat early on. I followed that up soon thereafter with a 25-inch, DT10-eating pike. Since I enjoy throwing these baits so much, I perhaps gave them too much of my time; but I did alternate in Ned, drop-shots, blade baits, spinnerbaits, Senkos and other cranks along the way. I covered depths from 2 to 22 feet, and many areas and specific spots. I did swing on a heavy weed fish from an isolated hump on a spinnerbait, only to be instantly and cleanly cut off. Other than that, nothing good, fish-wise developed. By 11 AM, wakeboarders were tearing up the lake, the yacht club was establishing the course for Saturday's Reeds Lake Triathlon, and I had lost my focus. I was home sooner than expected! What do I have to say about this? It's pretty rare for me to lose interest while on the water. I've been pretty busy with life, and I've got a lot of good fishing both behind me and in front of me. There was no point to my fishing this day other than relaxation; and perhaps, I was smart to go with my feelings and not fight it. I do, however, look forward to recapturing that productive groove!
