8/22- Miramar A.M. Bass Frenzy
Posted: Tue Aug 22, 2023 3:54 pm
Cheating on a person is bad and if going behind Lake Murray's back to fish Lake Miramar is bad....I am guilty. Headed up to Miramar once again with my kayak. It has been so much fun fishing up there and just had to go back. Had a little late start as I did not get on the water till almost 7am and no overcast when I arrived as the sun was out.
Just a few breakers here and there and the bass were up and down fast. Did not waste too much time with a few topwater baits and decided to go to a blade bait in hopes of going a little deeper. After several casts it finally paid off and I started to land bass on it. I had a smaller blade on another rod and that also was working. It was pretty crazy because I caught bass in less than 15 feet from the surface and then others down in at least 25-30 feet of water. I mixed it up with a spoon and caught some bass, but the blade baits seemed to be what they were more interested in.
Losing a few here and there but still happy as I think I had 11 bass by 9 a.m. Then things slowed down a bit and I had to work a little harder and a little deeper. I was picking up a bass on a reaction baits here and there and at around 11:45a.m., I picked up my last bass of the morning and headed home shortly after that.
This was by far one of the best days I had up at Miramar in a long time. Again, can't whine about the ones that came off as that is all part of fishing, but landed 18 bass this morning and all of them were caught on reaction baits. I stayed out mostly in the middle of the lake and I did not toss one single worm(even though @McFish texted me urging me to) or craw bait. I wanted to stick to my guns and glad I did.

Smaller bass like reaction baits too!
