Windy Day At Canton Res
Went out yesterday afternoon on the Canton Res with my cousin. Boat hit the water around 2pm, launched from the wall. The first hour or so I pulled in a 1.5lb largemouth and a decent sized pickerel right where the water is running in to be drained. We turned the corner and anchored in between the rocks on the point and the first dock.
There we got a few good hits but weren't catching much. We were using mostly PowerBait and Senkos. I was pitching a few spinners and jigs in between (no idea where all the weeds went but that's fine with me) not having much luck. Then my cousin casted a dark watermelon Senko out there and let it sink and sit. After about a minute, he went to bring it in and bam it got hit hard, a minute later it jumped and we saw it was a big boy. He landed it, weighed in at just under 6lbs. Not 5 minutes later, same area, I tossed a darker Senko and used the same technique, let it sit for a minute. BAM landed myself another jumping 5lb'r. We worked that spot for another 45 minutes or so without much luck. We moved back to our first area, he landed a 1lb bass and a decent pickerel before we left around 6pm.
I have been here a few times, and I always heard there are big bass in here, but never caught anything over 2lbs. This was the best fish I've landed all year and man once they jump it really gets me fired up.
It was a WINDY day on the pond, the water was real dark, and the vegetation was pretty low which surprised me after our last few trips. All in all a great trip look forward to getting back out there.
Pics are on the phone, i'll try to post them.
Nice work it seems like senkos or bust there latley. Water is so low that the grass is mostly dead but there is a ton of it across the middle of the pond. Nice work
