Fished Alum today from 6:15 to 11:30. It was a great morning for topwater. It started out cloudy with a slight breeze. They were choking down the popper! I had a limit of nice bass by 8:00 am. Pulled up on one tree and caught 3 on 3 consecutive casts! The bite lasted until the sun came out and the wind picked up. Then the bite dropped off drastically. Ended up with a total of 11 bass for the day!

Great job. The Pop'R is my favorite topwater lure. I've only caught small bass on it, this year so I switched to a Spook and got some bigger bass.
Looks like the one really had it down his throat.

Damn. Fell and used my arm (I guess) to stop this enormous mass from going down the front steps three weeks ago and have not been able to use it very well. (work been real B***) Makes me envy you all who get to go out and fish.

I went back to Alum again this morning! They said any rain should hold off til the afternoon/evening! Haha! It was a cloudy morning with a slight breeze!
The bass again were just hammering the topwater. They are really feeding up now after the spawn! They're starting to get plump again! I lost count on how many I caught today! Probably 20 or more!
I went down one stretch of bank that look pretty barren, sandy with some mud mixed in, and they were stacked on it. I must have caught 7 or 8 in a 50 yard stretch! I also caught my first musky this year, albeit a small one. I was hoping they'd leave me alone this year! Maybe that will be the only one I catch!

Yea, I got off just as the storm hit. I should have left a half hour earlier, but you know how that goes! I just pulled the boat out and I actually got wet putting on my rain suit on in the parking lot. Lol! There was a lot of lightning entering the area too!
