We had another good turnout for the fall bass league with 11 teams showing up to compete on Lake Johanna. The weather was very nice with mild temperatures and just a little wind. Lake Johanna has been off the past couple years in my opinion and last Saturday was no different. Overall the fishing was pretty tough and while there were a few decent bags it was nothing like it had been in the past. 1st place had 5 fish for 16.69 lbs, 2nd was my dad and I with 14.94 lbs and 3rd had 13.73 lbs. The big fish for the day was 4.23 lbs.
My dad and I started in our usually spot which is a bay lined with reeds. We flipped jigs and tubes in the reeds and our fishing started off really well. We had 2 of our weigh fish in the boat within about 10 minutes. We filled out our 5 fish bag after about an hour just staying in the same area. After that though the fishing got a lot tougher. We ran around the lake hitting a few more areas we like but weren't able to find any other fish. Eventually we went back to where we started and just ground it out the rest of the day pretty much. We ended up catching 5 more keepers the rest of the day with all of those fish coming on a Strike King Flippin Tube in green pumpkin. The real key for us was fishing the areas in the reeds where there were matted up reeds or eelgrass laying next to the standing reeds. It was a sunny day and it seemed like the fish wanted to get underneath that horizontal cover. The fish weren't everywhere on that stuff but when you saw something that really looked right you could pretty much call it and the fish would be there.
