Picked up Rick and went to the South Ramps along Lox Road.  Ran west several miles and fished the flats along the spoil bank.  Went through the second cut fishing a Horny Toad.  Caught a nice bass on the third cast.  Rick was fishing a swimbait and had a follower but could not hook up.  We thought the top water bite might be the trick up it stopped quickly.  We switched to plastics and slowed way down.  The bite was slow but steady.  They did not want to chase a bait, but rather a slow steady move along the bottom that got the bites.  You could barely feel the bite, just a small thud, and a slow movement was all you got.  Around 9:00 I felt a small tick, and thought it could be grass.  I took up slack and set the hook, I had a 22.2 inch fat bass, about 6 pounds.  I got her head up, and kept it above the heavy grass.  Around the same time, and in the same area, Rick caught a nice fatty in the same small 30 yards.  

 

We ended the day at 11:00, as the wind really started to blow hard.  We boated 18 fish, one big Hawg, a number of fatties, and one double with synchronized hook sets.  It was a nice relaxing day, with good company.
