Tim Costlow and I spent an epic morning catching high quality fish at JerMar Lake on Saturday 9/7/13.  We had planned a full day of fishing but we only wound up fishing until about 10:30 but it wasn’t because the fishing wasn’t in a word - spectacular.  We set out just before sunrise fishing topwater and from the first cast until the last cast it was a constant “fish on” experience. 

We conservatively caught 75 fish ranging from one brave little 6” bass that wasn’t much larger than the lure to a top of 5 lbs.  Average was probably in the 3-3.5 lb range with more that a handful that were larger than that.  I never changed lures for the entire morning, fishing a Heddon Torpedo and only stopped long enough to re-tie it a couple times..  I can’t recall the number of times that a fish struck at the moment the lure hit the water and if not then it was within the first jerks of the lure.

The lake has some mat on the surface as the levels are down somewhat but that was where the fish were holding and all we did was drift from the dock to the other end and then troll back and do it again.

Thanks Private Water Fishing for getting access to such a great body of water.
