The Lone Bass of Chandos Lake.

I read a lot about Chandos Lake so thought I would give it a try. Four hours of jigging, tube jigs, lures, trolling, top water and the only fish we caught was this bass……….ten minutes after we launched. We did have a small pike follow a lure…………..so over the side ……figure eight………..followed it but wouldn’t hit. We’re going to have to return and figure this lake out……….one day…….maybe………

Why go more than 150 yards from boat launch……..

Well we fished Chemong, we fished the Indian River, we fished Chandos………no fish; couldn’t buy a fish. So the significant other says “Why don’t we just put the boat in at the launch in town. So I figured since my suggestions hadn’t worked to well……….we’ll give it a try. So in at the launch at town………..drive 150 yards, tie up to the railroad trestle………..first cast with a tube jig; she lands the first small mouth. Fifth cast with a tube jig……..second fish………a few minutes later.the third. I did have a nice keeper on for 3.2 milliseconds……..but my luck this year hasn’t been the best. I did land a small…….9 inch smallmouth but through him back. So I guess I’ll let the significant other chose our next destination.
