I went Wamplers lake in Irish Hills this past Sunday. Let me start by saying what. a circus on the water by the time afternoon rolled around. I had two goals for my fishing for the day. I wanted to catch some bass for a few hours and I also wanted to come home with a mess of bluegill or redear sunfish for dinner. I had a decent few hours bass fishing in the morning catching 7 of them. The bluegill fishing was actually more challenging because trying to find quality fish was a bit difficult. I caught too many to count, but only brought home a dozen that were big enough to filet up. Water temperature was 70 when I got there, and 72 when I left. Water temperature down at 14 feet was also 70 according to my underwater camera. I did use the underwater camera a bit trying to locate some bigger bluegill. Short video of the some of the underwater footage and one bass catch below.
This was our first fishing trip of 2023. Strong winds and storms the day prior led into our bluebird fishing day. Come along to see how we stringed some bites together on a tough fishing condition day. Thanks for being part of our community and stayed tuned for more exclusive content from R & J Bass Fishing.

I just had to head back and fish this lake after so many years. Seeing the devastation with my own eyes and also seeing if the lake still had bass in it.
Well it finally happened. I'm down to my last one and they no longer make them. It's a real bummer, because I still haven't been able to duplicate the exact vibration or something about it that triggers the strike. Here's a close up look at my favorite spinnerbait for smallmouth. Any suggestions are always welcomed.
