Decent morning

Featured Replies

I got out early this morning.  It was nice and calm, just how I like it.  I managed to get seven total with only two keepers.  Couldn't get a bite on anything but a chart/white spinnerbait.  All fish were right on the banks and were tight to cover.  Every fish was a reaction strike right as my bait hit the water.  This was also my first time catching something other than dinks on my new, and first, Medium rod.  Tons of fun on the lighter rig!  Here are pics of the biggest two.  The first one I put on the scale, it was 2.2lbs, I didn't scale the second one but I figure it was 2.5-3lbs.

That sounds like a good day Cliff. I love it when the bass have their nose on the bank. I tie on two lures. A spinnerbait like you did and a 1/4oz chrome rattle trap. I will alternate between both of them but the key is the retrieve when they are on a reaction strike on the bank. Cast to the bank and on the second turn of the handle quickly drop your rod tip while continuing to reel. This will pick up the fish that are a little slower to react to the bait.

I will try that fluke.  They were on the bank Friday as well, however a t-rigged Rage Craw was the ticket then.  Due to closed ramps I will be forced to fish the same area again.  I really wanted to get on the north end and flip the heavy timber, too far to travel on the lake for me.  its ok though if I keep catching them here I am happy.
