Hello all!

 

I haven't posted in about a month, because nothing has been really going on during the month of September. This summer pattern to fall pattern transitional period rendered the bass sluggish and only reacting to reaction baits, but still even barely biting those.

 

I went out on the first of october, during a slight rain with low 60s temperature and overcast skies.

 

I landed a small one on a spinnerbait instantly, and continued to toss the spinnerbait around. I saw multiple bass come follow the spinnerbait up, but they were unsure whether they really wanted it. I chucked my spinnerbait under a fountain that had been running, and instantly a 2.5 lber slams it and i land him. Nice, fat fish looking like a fall bass to me. I put my spinnerbait under the fountain again and i get a massive strike from a large fish, but he missed. I was really upset and kept throwing the spinnerbait to see if i could get him. I decided to put on a BPS Sassy sally soft jerkbait on and toss it under the fountain. Suddenly i feel the massive fish and i set the hook, i pull her in with a good fight. As i get her in a see a wolf pack of 2-3 lbers that were under the fountain with her follow up behind her. She weighs 3.25 lbs and was 18.5 inches long. She was FAT. I let her go and wonder if i can get some of those other bass that had been in the wolf pack from under the fountain. I toss my sassy sally back under the fountain and manage to pull out another bass, weighing a bit under 3 lbs. 

 

I was so happy! Finally they were eating and not just being sluggish as they had been during the summer-fall transition. I hope to head out soon again and get some more lunkers!

 

Hoorah!!!!

 

 

Nice fish!

Good ones.
