One downed tree tonight held four nice keeper Bass tonight. I finally out fish the Better Half, but she still has the largest bass so far. Weโ€™re now keeping some bass for the winter meals to remind us of our great trip up north!! The weather has been great so far. Temperature in the 50s at night and low 70s during the day. Oh by the wayโ€ฆ.I took all four bass off that downed tree much to the shagrin of my girl!! All bass again were taken by a Saltcraw brown and orange color set up on a Texas Rig. Also a Slim Dog took my Saltcraw!! Rotten bait taker!!

Outstanding Cougar! Were you throwing the craw weightless? Laydowns are the first thing I look for if I'm going in blind--they're a fish magnet!๐ŸŽฃ๐ŸŽฃ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ

To be in such a place in the company of the love of your life and catching fish as a bonus it just doesnโ€™t get any better. Happy for you I amโ€ฆ.

Awesome catching Cougar. Like DC said, that's the first place to go in unfamiliar water. It also just happens to be my personal favorite place to throw a Dinger weightless. I could spend my lifetime picking apart blowdowns, and be happy as a clam. Thanks for sharing.

At first I was weightless and then I put on an 1/8 oz. bullet weight. It penetrated the weed area a little better .

We hit a lot of downed trees but this one was magical. I fish almost exclusively with a Saltcraw or purple twister tail. Usually weightless- but now Iโ€™ve added an 1/8 oz. Bullet weight. It has made it alot easier to get down to areas I have been trying to get to.

Sheโ€™s my best friend and fishing partner. She has her own way of coaxing in the big ones!! Itโ€™s great to not have to deal with a partner that doesnโ€™t like to fish or hunt.

Thanks for sharing. The weather this summer has been good, compared to the rest of the states. Another reason I enjoy living in Michigan.
