Shore, HOT, 10:30-11:30am, west winds mild, sunny. White 3/16 spinner and various senkos. Skenkoed.

Who cares about Skenkoed when you can officially claim, by going out again tomorrow, to have fished the same body of water for 14 consecutive days! :shock: Seriously, I'm really impressed by your dedication, Topwater Hope you land some 5lb + bass from Opeka in the future; you certainly would deserve it :wink:

Good luck tomorrow!

wow 2weeks of straight fishing thats awesome i wish i had the time great job i bet you do well tommorrow can't wait to read the report keep them coming

 

[Topwater]

Yeah, I've had a lot of time to get over there, plus its literally a few blocks away and actually has fish in it! Keeping a record of skunks as well as catches helps me to analyze what works for me and doesn't. If I kept jumping lakes, I'd have to keep a log of each and wouldn't get to know any of them and thus would seriously decrease my chances of having a good time catching fish. Besides, I'd rather fish an hour a day, everyday than six hours once a week. More ops for good fish. So really, I'm just using this rather than my own computer to track success and failure. Hope it helps others!

I couldn't agree more!

Hope it helps others!

Definitely does, thanks Even though I don't fish Lake Opeka, I think your reports from there are at least partially applicable to most other bodies of water in our area and therefore help the rest of us become better fisherman too

i wish i lived as close to a lake as you do topwater and fishing a couple hours a day rather than six on one day would awesome
i feel i have learned from your reportes so please keep them coming
maybe i'll see over there one day bc i have been trying to plan a day with my cuz who lives near opeka to spend a day on the water

 

[Topwater]

If you're in a boat some spots are the south end off the 11th tee (there's a very nice weed bed and drop off there!), west side off the 13th tee and don't underestimate the west shoreline just south of the bay on the north, I've gotten a few big dogs there!

 

[TSevs]

PM Report: shore, still HOT, tried it all, topwaters, 3/16 white spinner, tournament frog, senkos. Only one 10" smallie to show for an 8-9pm outing. Yes, a smallie in Opeka. I've thought I've caught a few before there but have been told there are none in there. But this was clearly a smallie or something that looks a lot like a bass, but isn't. Had the bassy mouth, one dorsal fin and a greenish gold hue to it (it was dark so my colors may have been a little off). I very nearly took its eye out, but hopefully it will be fine.
