I hit up one of my honey holes for a few hours this afternoon. Water temp was 48 ( I was in it) and cloudy skies. I was throwing a River2Sea rig walker swimbait next to various laydowns in a small area and the bass were nailing it hard. After walking down a muddy bank to gently release the bass in the water holding onto a branch from a laydown I heard a crack and in the water I went. The bass got released gently as I was doing a bridge with my hands up to my elbows in the water and my upper legs and butt got soaked. It didn't take long to get out when the 48 degree water took effect. Luckily my camera and everything in my pockets made out ok. The fish were biting too good to leave so I kept on fishing. Next I threw a Strike King Rage Blade and got whacked real good reeling it past a laydown . It felt big with the fight it gave me but it ended up being a big pickerel..had to be 4lbs or so. One of the last lures I threw was a swimjig with a Rage Tail Cut-R Worm for a trailer. A few bass and another pickerel nailed that setup. Ended up catching one or two more on the rig walker swimbait before I headed out of there to get warm and dry. It was a very active few hours for only fishing in a small area. I highly recommend trying the River2Sea rig walker swimbait even though it's only 4'' long it caught that giant in Florida. The Rage Blade is a great action bait also.

 

Nice Bass & Report.

 

Congrats

 

Last spring, in limited action, I had decent results on a Rage Blade as well.

I would have liked to have been there for the dunking. I think everybody that has done much bank fishing have felt that muddy side of a foot down the bank before. Nice fish too.

Nice fish!

Thanks. They weren't ready for frogs yet but I sure am.

Good catches!

Nice bass, and thanks for the pics!

Cool Pics!
