Hot at Bald Knob Lake

8 Attachment(s)

Got out early and spent 4.5 hours on the water. Started off slow with only a few shell cracker. Then I found the bluegill in different spots and the game was on. Not sure of the total but it was a lot. Enough fun to keep me out in that heat. Left biting fish but I pulled out at 11:55. Don’t see me getting out again for a couple of weeks if not more. The forecast is nothing but weeks of extreme heat. Had three setups with me today, and I caught fish with all of them. A couple of Fine Tail Banshees and the Diplomat Extreme. Had one shell cracker at the 10 inch mark and several 9 inch bluegill. Rest of the fish were 7-8 inches. Those rods made it a fun trip. Of course Trout Magnet was the lure. Used Bison, Sow Bug and a few with Root Beer Float. Came home and AC was out. Back up now but waiting on a part. But still, Life is good!

Regards

Nice pics and catches. Sounds enjoyable. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful Fish !
Lots of folks out there can’t understand why we tolerate conditions we do to chase the fish we love !

Great success!

That’s worth staying for. Good trip Randy, I’ll look for the video.

Nice mess of gills and redear. Would certainly put a smile on my face until the next time you get out. Been dodging the heat myself.

Beautiful setting and fish. Thanks for the ride along, and best wishes dealing with this heat.
