Big Birthday Bass Celebrated On The Water W Son Robbie

Toll bridge to the 9mm of the Osage, targeting main points, secondary points and spawning pockets.

Today my awesome son Rob and I celebrated my birthday with a full day on the water. While I was hoping would give up a few choice spots for his old man’s birthday, he did not, instead he caught a 5+ pounder behind me, helping me practice for the FLW BFL this weekend, thanks Rob :). Today we started out fishing some main lake points, sitting on the ledge of bluff ends and throwing the stick bait onto the banks and flats on top of the bluff shelves, we caught a keeper immediately, so we left that spot, because as I practice for the tourney, I am confident that I can get some small keepers on those types of main lake points. Then we moved down the lake and fished a big cove at the 12mm, with only a few shorts, very disappointing as this big cove usually gives up some big ones in the spawning pockets, but not today. So we moved down lake a bit further about the 11-8mm, we went to the backs of some creeks and spawning pockets, I caught a 4+ pounder on a stick bait and the next cove pocket down, Rob caught a 5+ pounder on the stick bait. Rob later caught another keeper close to a main lake point on a stick bait. Overall, it seems the fish are coming shallow, whether from the depths of the main lake channel to shallower ledges or from secondary points to spawning pockets, the fish are in the mood to have some babies!!
