Kelly and I got out to Salamonie Lake in Huntington County for a little late summer/early fall scouting mission. We only had about 2 hours on the water so we had to make the best use of our time. We tried trolling and casting with slip floats. We caught a few crappies casting slip floats around standing timber. Most were still pretty small. It shouldn't be long before the mother load comes in to feed for the winter. While trolling, we caught a lot of small white bass. I caught two decent ones right at dark. Kelly came up with the big fish of the night! While trolling behind her, I saw a bass start to jump about 50 feet behind her boat. She started scrabbling and I knew she had it on. The fish absolutely inhaled the flicker shad Kelly was trolling. So much so, that I had a difficult time removing the hooks. After some finagling the fish came unhooked and swam away in good shape. The weather was absolutely stunning for the second trip in a row. 75 with light and variable winds made for a comfortable and enjoyable evening. The view of the moon while we were leaving was amazing.
