Senecaville Lake

If you look at the pictures you would think I had a pretty good day on the water. But if every fish I had hooked makes its way in the boat I catch at minimum 16-17 pounds on the day for my best 5. Just couldn’t keep them pinned. Nonetheless it was still a fun day. I learned a lot last weekend on the water and made key adjustments that could have led to an absolutely incredible day. . .

Tough day of fishing but there were some positives to it. Managed to find one of the right ones and the saugeye were chewing. . .

Pretty good morning on a foggy, and soggy Seneca. I found one of the right ones fairly early this morning and then decided to go shallow and just have some fun fishing how I like to fish with a jig and a chatterbait. I had another really good fish hooked and it ended up spitting the jig before I could get it in the boat. . .

Fishing was tough for me today. Managed to hook into a few decent fish and dumped 2 more that would have given me a solid 10-12 pound bag. The bluerock custom tackle tube was the move today. Seemed like it was the only thing the fish would munch today and they ate it good when they did. . .

Little belated birthday present to myself as I caught a dang good one this morning! My biggest fish of the year so far! Caught it slow rolling a Wobblehead on bottom out deep.

They were chewing the micro jig today! This has become one of my favorite ways to catch them this year just because big fish will eat it too! This little tiny jig has saved many days on the water for me this year because it just get bit! . .

Didn’t fish very long this morning at all because of the heat. Managed to catch one small bass, 2 small saugeye, and a pretty nice crappie. Was shocked at the crappie and the saugeye eating a @berkleyfishing Flux Gill on the flipping stick. Water temps at Seneca was around 90 degrees which is the first time I can ever remember seeing that high! . .
