Diamond Lake has a reputation for big bass but also a reputation for being very tough at times. Last Saturday the tough side of the lake showed itself. The conditions were not ideal either with strong winds from the south making much of the lake unfishable. There were 7 teams who fished and only two 5 fish limits were weighed in. My dad and I were one of the teams with a limit and we took first place with 14.65 lbs. 2nd place weighed only 3 fish for 10.88 lbs. The big bass for the day was a 4.81 pounder.
There really isn't a lot to say about our fishing on the day. We tried a few different areas but ended up spending at least 4 of the 5 hours in one section of reeds. We must have worked every key spot in those reeds at least 3 times throughout the day. There were a few fish in there but they just weren't very easy to catch so we just had to grind it out slowly. We ended up catching 6 keepers on the day with 5 of them coming on green pumpkin Strike King Flippin Tubes. Our big fish of the day, which was close to 4 lbs, came on a black/blue jig with a Strike King Denny Brauer chunk but that was the only bite we had on a jig. It certainly wasn't an exciting day of fishing but it ended up being good enough to win by almost 4 lbs.
