So i went out fishing on my favorite lake alone today for the first time in months. I usually have a partner in the boat with me. Weeks prior i had been using bigger lures in search of that monster with only one or two bites a day. Today i decided to keep it as simple as i could. I tied on a 3/16oz bullet weight, 3/0 hook and a 6" paddle tail worm and WOW! In two hours i landed 10 fish, 9 of them were keepers! Right before i left the lake i landed a 3lb 8oz football! I have been looking for that double digit hawg for so long that i had forgotten how fun it was to just catch bass! I wish i could have gotten pics but its hard when your alone.

Sounds like a fun day.  The days when all you have are a few lures and leave the suitcase of lures at home are sometimes the best.  Think its because you really, at least for me anyway, focus on working that bait just right instead of knowing you can cut it off after the next cast for any number of lures in the bag.

19 fish in two hours   8-)

Hey ejtaylor822, most of my family lives is Raleigh, NC! There is some good bass fishing there too. I lived there myself a couple of years.
