Where Did The Big Bass Go

I decided to try Long Lake with my friend Ben who used to live on the lake. He hasn't fished the lake in years but I knew right where to find the big bass. Or so I thought.

Great Video!

Thanks!

I was actually out there that same day but at night and managed two 17’s and one 18. The fishing really turned on from 9-10 at night.

[@geezersbassin2567]

Nice! That's a good night of fishing. I like to fish this lake after dark.

@@geezersbassin2567 I got one of the 17’s on a swimbait in the wind but once that died down I was crushing them on a popper along the weed lines

[@geezersbassin2567]

I really need to dust off my poppers and start throwing them more. Especially in the dark

[@michaelgoodrich9244]

There are some big smallies in there. Try a deep crankbait or slow roll a swimbait deep.

[@geezersbassin2567]

I haven't tried deep cranking but I have tried the swimbait some. Seems like they would crush the topwater over all the flats though. But, it is just good to know there are some in there I can try for.

deep cranking and bigger swimbaits for me too here in ohio, anything else just gets me dinkers typically

[@geezersbassin2567]

@@benonem Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind and try to get some bigger swimbaits
