Welcome to our SJHT 13th event of the 2023 Season where SJHT anglers venturedd back up North to Carnegie Lake. There were plenty of bites...but the right bite is what everyone was hoping for.



Let's get to it.

Summary:  More than Halfway through our 2023 season, SJHT Anglers still come out to do battle even on somewhat distant bodies of waters.  What can I Say?  Carnegie Lake has alot of various species within it depths.  Anglers were catching Bass within the first 10 minutes of the start.  I had 2 within the first hour but it took me a while to get my 3rd keeper.  Anglers reported catching multiple 11.5'~11.75" size Bass.  There were alot of Giants loss at or near the boat today.
Out of 11 Anglers, there were only 26 Bass caught....giving way to 43.06lbs .  The avg. weight was only 1.66lbs. per Bass.  Carnegie Lake normally produces multiple 3~4+lber Bass.  Today was fun but a little frustrating trying to sift through the smaller Bass./b]

Overall....  8 anglers caught there 3 Bass Limit.   10 out of 11 caught at least 1 Bass.         

Congrats to Mike Del Monico, Jackson Fu, Dennis Tolentino, and Mike Pilles on your perforrmances.

Next up is NEWTON LAKE next Week. 

Tightlines,
