Skinny Bass June12th Lake Goodwin

After chasing Steelhead and Kings for past couple of weeks it was nice to get the call from a friend who wanted to try some bass fishing. He likes Goodwin because it's close and he always out fishes me there, so off we go. We started by checking the old familiar spots and caught several 14" smallmouth but nothing of size so we slowed down and went deeper [ 10-12' ] and started picking up some fish on grubs in the 2-2 1/2 pound range. I then started throwing a deep diving craw pattern crank and on my first cast caught about three and a half pound fish that should have been a five pounder but had a caved-in post spawn belly. To mix things up I started throwing a Skitter-pop in about two feet of water and caught three or four largemouth and had several that missed the lure. None of the largemouth were very big [ 1-2 pounds ] but to me there is nothing funner than top water fishing. Overall a real good time and I out fished the man on his home water!
