Beautiful Sunday afternoon, fished several hours from the bank.

My combo - Shimano Poison Glorious Wolfgang paired with Megabass FX68L reel. Great rod for medium size jerkbaits and topwater,and really sensitive for bottom contact baits.

First bass of the day - and it was biggin' (close to 5lb)

The jerkbait I fished with - Duo Tide Minnow 90mm, nicely mimicking Lanier shad.

Really like this jerkbait if you gotta reach fish busting baitfish on top. At longcast mode I can easily cast it across the water and practically reach trees on other side of this cove.

Good several hours of fishing and limit of bass I would estimate around ~14lb

P.S. Each fish have been released back to the lake.

Nice haul from the bank! The low water probably helps you get around the lake a lot better.

Yeah! You are absolutely right! Love when water is low like that, I can walk to any bank spot I like, skip docs if I want to, tree branches don't impede when I cast and I catch more bass on average, easier to locate fish in that case.
