Largemouth anyone?

[bassin]

Anybody know where the Largemouth are. I found them last year in an area up in the reeds. A ton of fish in a small area. One that was 5.6lbs. I was there on Friday and Saturday and didn't catch one. I looked in the deeper water near the reeds in some cabbage and just got bit off. Anybody know what they are relating to these days. Any help would be grealty appreciated.

thank you.

ok......either nobody wants to give up any info, or nobody knows. I have two sweet smallie spots that are unmarked and loaded with fish. I'll trade those spots if anybody has any largemouth info.

I tried a similiar post several months ago after hearing rumors about excellent Lg. here. The only responces I got were that the rumors are true, but that they are only in a few area's with a small overall population, catch and release was emphasized. I think it's needles in a haystack where you may get lucky from time to time like you did last year. I will be fishing a Bass Tourny out there on Sat. July 6th. I'll let you know how it goes, maybe U'll be there. I'll be the passenger in a Triton TR-19. That 21" Smallie requirement is quite the hurdle. I've found Lrgees both times prefishing but they tended to be under 15." Our plan will probably be to try and fill a limit with Largemouth then go for the high bar. I have no clue how this one will turn out but I suspect that if I can do as well as I did pre-fishing, I will at least have a limit (5 fish). I suspect limits may be hard to come by, but I may be wrong. I am excited to see how it all pans out. Hopefully, my team will catch something other than half starved walleye's, hammer handles, or giant muskies.

The tournament turned out to be a big dissappointment. I thought my water had a great shot at winning but we just didn't put up the kind of lbs needed, Our bad was a low 10lb. Scott Bonnema and Paul Neumann won with a 17lb bag. I am not sure where or what type of fishing. We fished reads/bulrushes/weeds combo in a southern bay. Almost everyone bagged a limit (5 fish). We probably caught 14-16 fish total, but we missed quite a few and I fear that was one of our main downfalls. Personally, I am not sure if I recommend this lake for Lg. mouth. The avg. size seems to be around 14" and it's fairly tough fishing in the thickening cover. I'd reccommend targeting the big smallies. No one brought a 21" smallie to the scales. For the results go to mnfom.com. (although they had not posted results as of 7/11). One good point is that they seem to be aggressive and like top water.
