The past couple days have been good. I started classes back at college this week, so I'm trying to balance out school and fishing, Yesterday I went to a small secluded pond I know of near my great great aunts house. Me and my bro caught 6 small bass on a strike king buzzbait in chartruese. It was sunny high 70's. barometric prob. rising since that marning it was cloudy and cool. We also caught a few small bass on shiners, since we went there to fish witht hem, but I didn;t have a bobber, so I threw a buzz while bro threw a shiner. I ended up catching two in 5 minutes when he hadn;t got a bite.

Today I fished for about an hour by the boat ramp of a different pond. This one is much bigger. Today is in the high 80's low 90's and sunny. I had to take off my t shirt and get a tan cuz I was sweating. Nothing was biting the buzzbait, so I tried out a Strike King series one medium crank in a chartuese blue(bluegill) patter. After a dozen casts of not getting bit, I decided to burn the lure back to me, which worked. Thi smust have turned the bass on because I caught two small bass in about 20 minute susing this technique. After 12:30 when the sun was really high the bite turned off. I fished for about another half hour beating on that fishing spot but nothing. I think a couple bass from shore any day is a good day, since its hard to get a limit fishing from shore(this pond is highly developed by houses so spots are few and far between. I wish I had caught some bigger guys at least over 12" both were about 10". But I had fun...that must count for something right?

With classes, and work on the weekend, I'm going to try to get out at least once a week now until it gets too cold to get em from shore. I swear, fishing is theraputic. They should do a study on it.

Ya done good young man!  Speeding up a cr/bait has worked for me too during the hot months.
