Any of you guys bass fish Lake Aquilla? Im going to be heading there tomorrow for some Crappie action and figured I would fish a couple of hours before dark for bass. Any tips would be awesome

never been, but ive heard its a really pretty lake with lots of grass.....if thats true then i'd be wearin out a frog!! lol

not really true of what ive seen out there, theres was a few spots of hydrilla a few years back but nuthing very thick. tuff lake to fish

no grass, no docks.

Its tough in the Summer, but a frog does work well close to shoreline flooded grass.

There is plenty of timber you can fish also.

There is a couple of offshore humps that are good too, if you have navionics you will see where they are.

I like Aquilla.... I fish it on weekends rather than Whitney because there is less traffic there and you are much more likely to catch a big bass.... there are some rocky points on the main lake that often produce...

The lower part of the lake gets hit pretty hard.. I fish above Snake Island on the west side... some good rocky shore line and timber along the banks... the lake is up now so the timber on the fence lines and the creek channel (behind Snake Island) are not as visible as when it is when the lake is down like it normally is this time of the summer... but the big trees can be fished down the trunks, you just have to use your sonar to find the tree/fence lines and the creek channel.. but, getting fish out is a chore... lots of structure...

I think Aquilla can give you a 9 or 10 lber on any given trip.

should be easy to fish, you can sit in the middle and cast to every bank lol

Fish the rip rap under the bridge next to the ramp with a black blue worm.

Thanks for all of the info guys, i went out for a while and only caught 3 bass. Two dinks and one that was 6.2 on my scales, which matches my personal best. Also go 16 nice crappie. Buddy got called in to work or would have had a few more.

Taylored, did you catch the bass deep or shallow?

Was in 19ft of water. Was working our way to crappie spot to set up and was throwing up against stumps.

We fished Sunday... I think we only caught 2 small fish (2lbs or so) but we lost several large fish on frogs along the back of Snake Island, just couldn't get them out of the stumps... Went back Monday with rods rigged with braid, but didn't get a strike in the same area.. don't understand if the fish had moved or what....

I caught my 2 small fish right by snake island on a spinner bait. Didn't have anything big hit over there but did get snagged a few times.

I had one Sunday that I thought was really a very nice fish.. not a big strike on the frog, just sucked it under... got the hook set and he went around a stickup.... line just screamed off the reel... never saw the fish... but the line just snapped after a bit.... had to respool the reel I lost so much line. A second fish slammed the frog right at the boat... and immediately dove under the boat, again pulling off line... don't think it was as big as the first fish... but, anyway I didn't get a good hook set and it was gone pretty quickly... The fish were really active on Sunday... we had a lot hits that didn't hook up... they were really after the frogs... love those Ribbits. Monday was a totally different day... no strikes on frogs.. caught one on a spook down at the dam.

dilla, what kind of frog are ya thorwing. We were out this morning till about 10 and boated 6 fish most were smallish and one about 4#. Caught all but on on dark worms on the western shoreline down by the dam.
