I continued my
quest for a musky bite at Newton Reservoir knowing full well I was bass fishing
and not musky fishing. The launch was a
bit tricky with no one to help me and no docks in the water. Luckily no one was around so I could take my
time and made it work. I tried throwing baits that I knew would catch bass, but
also gave me a chance at a musky. I did
tie on one musky bait which I threw for about 20 minutes with no luck.
The bass fishing did produce although it wasn’t fast and furious. I had to work hard for them, and I never did find a pattern that consistently produced. I ended up catching 8 bass and almost all of them hit on something different. Largest was around 2 pounds.
I caught them on a ned rig, spinnerbait, swimbait, senko, and a roboworm on a drop-shot rig. I did try some crankbaits, rattletraps, and chatterbaits with no success, but watched a guy in a boat near me catch one on a chatterbait, so it was just one of those days.
The weather was gorgeous, and I only counted
3 other boats on the water all day. There
is no better way to relax your mind than a quiet day on the water.
