Hit Garrisons Lake at sunrise on Saturday. I no sooner launched the jonboat when the rain came in. It lasted only a couple of minutes but the humidity really picked up.

Tried topwater plugs, spinnerbaits, Senko's for the first hour or so with no hits. Since they wouldn't come out to play I decided to go into the spatterdock and get them out! Rigged up a baitcasting setup with 50 lb braid, 3/4 oz tungsten weight, 4/0 straight shank hooks, and 4" plastics (Havoc Pit boss worked best) to go in after them. After a hundred or so pitches, I finally yanked 3 nice bass out of their hiding places before noon! Two bass were just about 3 lbs and one went almost 4 1/2 lbs. Took a lot of pitching though!

Always good to get out and refine my pitching techniques. Next time I fish there I will bring my "Gorilla" setup (8' rod, 65 lb braid)!

I like that. You went in after them. LOL! You did good. I don't know if I ever fished Garrisons Lake. Is it way north Delaware?

It was jungle fishing at the least! The lake is just 1 mile North of Dover Delaware....

Thanks Sandcrab, now you got me wanting to bass fish this morning. I think I will hit a out of the way lake early this morning and take a few pictures if I catch any bass worth a picture.

Well at least you were able to find them, tough to catch Bass this time of the year. Congrats.
