We once again had 17 teams fishing the West Central Bass League on Lake Andrew. That seems to be a common number this year and really it is just about the right amount of boats for our lakes in this area. There have been times when crowding is a major issue on a small lake like Andrew but it wasn't at all on this night. Unfortunately the fish still wouldn't cooperate for the most part. It was a typical night on the lake with the winners having 10 lbs but the vast majority of limits brought in weighed 4-5 lbs. Here are the results.
1st - Paul & Pete - 3 - 10.08 lbs
2nd - Andy & Mike Nitchals - 3 - 7.90 lbs
3rd - Ron & Joe - 3 - 7.32 lbs
4th - Scott & Kelly - 3 - 6.65 lbs
5th - Jared & Tonya - 3 - 5.64 lbs
Big Bass - Paul & Pete - 4.01 lbs
Our plan for the night was to fish deep weedlines and hope to just get 3 good bites. Catching fish on this lake is usually not a problem but finding quality definitely is. We actually started off with a bang and had our limit in the boat within about 10 minutes including our biggest fish of the night that was a little under 3 lbs. After that we caught fish pretty much every place we stopped and ended up catching probably 30 fish for the night but we just didn't get enough quality bites to challenge for the win. All our weigh fish came on a watermelon Brush Hog fished on deep weedlines.
West Central Bass League - Lake Johanna - July 28th
This one had me nervous since the league had visited Johanna the week before and we were unable to even get one bite. Just by luck of the draw we happened to return this week and with a week long off limits period there was no chance to get out to figure anything out. As tough as the fishing was the previous week for some of the teams it was even tougher this week and of the 12 teams fishing only 3 limits were brought to the scales.
1st - Paul & Pete - 3 - 10.17 lbs
2nd - Lee & Tim - 3 - 9.17 lbs
3rd - Andy & Mike Nitchals - 3 - 8.69 lbs
Big Bass - Paul & Pete - 4.14 lbs
Like I said earlier I didn't know what to expect for the night except that I knew we were going to fish completely different areas than we did the previous week and that is what we did. We still fished the same type of cover which are the many large reed beds on the lake but just did it in spots that we don't normally fish. It ended up working out for us as we were able to boat 3 fish after blanking a week before. The 3 fish we caught came on a watermelon homemade jig flipped and swam around the reeds.
