    Report: 9/13 12pm-5pm: started o skippin bushes with a chartreuse/pearl senko, got one about 1 1/2 lbs in about 6 inches o water under a small bush, hit it on top. i knew it was gonna be a hard day when i strung up with 8 lb test and a small ish like that was ripping drag. moved to the south island and skipped a bunch o bushes with no luck and came upon a big downed tree, irst cast to it had one take it right under the surace as i crawled it over a submerged log. this ish was rippin drag out good and i was pulling it through all the weeds, well i got hung up in one pile so i moved over to it and while i was trying to rip it ree i could see the ish ighting 5 eet away rom the pile i was stuck in. so i tried to lit up the weeds to rip it ree and just hear a little click and the pile wasnt heavy anymore and i ended up breaking the line. the ish looked to be a good 6+ ish. Skipped everything on the middle island and north island only to pick up one about 7 inches. ished the weed lat in the north section and missed a hit and then hooked up a little later. again this ish was ripping drag out to easily and again swam straight into a weed pile. this time i went easy on my line and with a little help rom my bud scott it came out about 3 minutes aer hooking up. only a 5 lber but a nice ish and a good ight. no more ish ater that and headed in, a slow day.9/14, 8am-12pm: put in at the park and worked my way towards the north end working a spook along the reeds and tulies, nothing. Fished around the north island and the north shore, 1 ish about a pound on a senko against the reeds. Fished up in the tulies outside and way outside and got jack. ished the weeds where the big mat used to be and had a little one hit it and since i hadnt gotten any action i decided to throw a senko to it just to see i i could end up with a bass. it hit it about the third cast and yup, a nice 7 inch bass. ished up against the tulies where the green slop was on top o the water. was working behind some other tubers who i guess pulled some out o it right beore came through becuase there were a bunch o trails coming out o the stu. well didnt get any to hit it crawling on it, but one cast went straight through and i thought it was sitting on top so when i went to crawl it there was a ish already there, i hooked up and the ish was only about a pound, nothing big yet. worked my way down back to the south shore skipping the bushes and trees and caught another dink o the bushes on the south end o the middle island. so thats 4 dinks. caught another dink right ater the other one against the tulies. 5 dinks. ished the same tree where i lost the nice one and irst cast i hooked up, again about an 9 incher. 5 casts later i hooked up to another dink about 13 inches. had to call it day at 12 and ended up with a lot o little ish and no hits rom a decent size ish, wasnt on them today.

    Report: about the report beore the last one, o course i let that ish go. i would never keep a bass or ood or or a trophy. 2 kids oered to buy it o o me to bring home and o course i released it back into the water. i know that some people will take bass or ood, and i know its not illegal but i i keep a bass i eel like im hurting the ishery, especially i its as small as spring lake, i know it may only make a small dierence but i still dont wanna make that small negative dierence. also now that ish will probably be around or the all eed where it can atten up and sit waiting or me to ind it again.
