Yak Trip To The Nip

Took out the yaks again the nip, on May 24th. The top water bite was on! The rebel pop-r preformed again. The weeds were starting to come in at the back, and the bass were feeding. I pulled up a few small bass and pickerel and then found the big fish right by the mouth of the river. I got a few 2 pounders and a nice 4.72 pounder too. I had read in a bass master article that guys were using one and 2 pound line to catch bass, so on the way back to the ramp, I took out my ice fishing rod rigged with 2 pound line and used a chartreuse senko. I got a bite that snapped my line, and I was now determined to catch a fish on the ice fishing rod. So I put on another 5 inch senko and hooked up with a 1.75 pound largemouth. It took me about 5 minutes to reel in, and an impressive net job by my buddy, but I got it, took a few pics and revived the fish to let him
Swim another day after a memorable fight. The fish will soon be on the move, moving out of the back and to the east and west sides of the nip.

  • Oh yeah I totally agree with everyone here...yeah I use 12 pound mono normally, but I just wanted to try it...I dont and won't do it often, but it was a good fight. There are some monsters in the nip...I went there a few days ago and the back was all weeds and couldn't get a bite. When I went to the shore on the east side I got 3 fish in 5 casts on a senko. You just need to find them now.

  • I fished the nip 2 weeks ago with light line.. by light I mean 10lb braid.. on one of my rods.. after I lost 3 good size bass I switched to my heavier tackle ie: 40-60lb braid.. that pond gets weedy early I'm not cautious enough for lighter line, once I set the hook I want it in the boat..

  • I could dig a ditch with a spoon too, but I prefer a shovel. Good for you though.

    I lost two big bass over the weekend with 6/7 pound mono chewed and scrapped up from catfishing. I'll never make that mistake again.

  • Light line is ok for trout, not for bass! You have to play the fish much longer, thus putting added stress on the fish. This decreases the chances of the bass surviving.
