I took my brother out for about 1 1/2 hours today.  We only caught 3 fish but it was better than sitting at home.

The pattern for the last 3 trips has been to fish deeper water.  I have been drifting with the wind in 13-18 feet of water, getting an occasional bump.  I found a couple of humps that come up to 4-6 feet.  The bass seem to be midway up/down the hump with the smaller ones on top.

The funny thing is, the area I have been fishing is a few hundred yards from the boat ramp in the main lake.  This lake holds about 2-3 tournaments a month and the weigh-ins are at the ramp.  Everyone runs past this spot to other areas or lakes .  Never leave fish to find fish and just because it's next to the launch site doesn't mean there is no fish.  Besides, I know there are hundreds and hundreds of fish released here from the many tournaments so these fish can't go to far.

Here is todays catch.

My brother was using a black, 10" Zoom or Culprit with 1/4 oz weight rigged on a 7' M/H Crowder rod with a Quantum Cabo and Samurai braid.

I caught this one experimenting with...The one and only WIGGLE RIG!!!!!  I was using a 7' Med. Crowder rod with a SHIMANO Stradic 2500 and #8 mono.

And no making fun of the hairdo.

d**n wish i could take my shirt off to fish now. you ppl in fl are sooo lucky.

anyway, nice fish! looks like you guys had a great time...even if you did only catch 3 fish. but still, 3 fish in 1.5hrs isnt that bad.

way to whack 'em guys.

Ah, y'all make me miss Florida so much!  Fine catchin'!
