So with bass post spawn going around areas, it was slow bass fishing for early June (for some folks that is). That doesn't deter me from trying to catch fish. I worked hard that morning not able to get a bass off the lilies, via topwater frog, so i switched over to bluegill fishing.
These pan fish are now spawning (or getting ready to spawn as they have a longer window of spawning than bass). Some of them are smart and reuse some of the bass beds as their own. others will hug the shorelines and other shallow coves. Some will be in huge schools that turns a cove into crazy spawning ground, making it looks like the moon even! Any how, I went out to catch some of these fun fish and you can get them in good sizes right now. As usual, all fish were returned since it's their spawning cycle. It was still fun on some lighter tackle and line.
I used 1/16th oz Jig and Bass Pro Shop Curly Tail Minnow. they say they are 2 inches, but it's more like 1 inch. I think they accounted the entire length plus the curly tail as part of their length. Great day on the water for sure!
As usual, enjoy the video
