Reservation Number : 25637
Property Name : Northeast Lake
Reservation Date : 08/27/2020 PM - 08/28/2020 AM
Total Fish/Sizes : 6 Bass, 2 to 4.5lbs (2 over 4lbs)
Lures Used : Floating lures & top waters
I fished one evening and the following morning at Northeast Lake. The bite was excellent in the evening ahead of storms. The evening outing produced 4 bass landed (2 @ 3lbs each, 1 @ 4lbs, 1 @ 4.5lbs) and two broke lines in under 2 hours of fishing. The fish were aggressively hitting top waters and floating shallow running hard baits. I had the most luck with a floating rat-l-trap up until a 6-7lb'r had one more run in him than I expected and snapped my line taking my lure with him.
The morning was very slow with only 2 fish landed in about 3 hours of fishing. Overnight thunderstorms and increased wind seemed to impact the bite. I only managed a 2.5lb and a 4 lb'r in the morning.
If I make it out again I'll try Senko's and weedless jigs. The top waters where so much fun I didn't want to get away from them!

Nice report Jeff, glad you got into a good top water bite! If anyone catches that big one hopefully they will return your floating rat-l-trap
