Nanticoke River Bass Fishing Report June 27th 2015

 

Today's Nanticoke River bass fishing report is from a tournament put on by Delaware Bass Federation. 36 boats showed up for this tournament and plenty of nice largemouth bass were weighed in the end of he day. The 7 fish limit per team helped the final weights out a bit but the 1st place bag of fish came in a nearly 3 lbs per fish. That is an above average day on the Nanticoke river but becoming more the norm. It's great to see all of the stocked bass growing up over the past several seasons.

 

I weighed in 7 fish for 13 lbs good for 13th place on the day. My limit was filled by 9:30 am using a small crank bait. After that I switched over to a jig looking for bigger fish for the rest of the day. I managed to land several upgrades, including my biggest bass 3.3 lbs. My partner also managed a few nice bass to help the cause. If there was 1 pattern that stood out the most today it would be targeting bass around lily pads. In one 20 minute period we caught 7 bass around pads.     

 

My best bait today: Small Crank Bait           

 

Biggest Bass = 3.3 lbs (jig)

 

Finished in 13th Place 

 

       

 

The water was in surprisingly good shape considering out 10 - 15 inch rain total this month. We did have some rain and weather to deal with today but nothing major. Overall I would encourage you to get of the couch and head out to the Nanticoke river for a great day of fishing when possible. We caught 25 bass today and 15 were keepers.
