Champion still runs!

Fished solo this morning from 6:45-11 AM.

Targeted largemouth the for about 3 hours in the back of Little River and Stamp Creek.  Little River was 82 degree and 79 degrees in the back.  Stamp Creek was 82 degrees.

I had two rods on my deck, one with a Spro Spittin’ Shad and the other rigged with a Zoom Trick Worm fished weightless.

Fished for about an hour in Little River with nothing to show for the effort.  It just didn’t look “right”.  Lots of bubbles coming out of the muddy bottom and just kind of a dead feeling to it.

Pulled the trolling motor and headed to Stamp Creek stopping at the wooden bridge and fishing the bank back from there.

Quickly started getting brim bites so at least it seemed to have some fish living there.  After a couple of hours I had caught 2 13” largemouth on the trick worm.  Lost a nice one on the Spro bait in a downed pine tree.  The fish got tangled in the tree top and before I could get there it got off.

Decided to run down by the skimmer wall and see what was happening.  I caught 3 spots on a Megabass Spark Shad swimbait. One non keeper and a 13” and 14” spot.  Headed in to the cove by the skimmer wall to look for some drop shot fish, but didn’t see anything.

It was a very pleasant morning.  I only saw 2 PWC’s and a pontoon boat.  When I came back to the ramp I was still the only trailer there.  Nice to have the lake back.  Not a bad trip considering it is still August.
