Any advice?

Featured Replies

I am headed out in the morning.  We have had the last few days in the upper 70's and lower 80's and very windy.  The wind is going to be down some tomorrow (10-15 mph).  I am fishing a small "bay" behind the marina where I caught my PB last spring.  It is also a known spawning area so I am sure there will be others there.  I have rigged and ready to fish: a jig and rage craw, spinnerbait, t-rig worm, fluke weightless, and a medium diving crank.  Any other ideas to try?  What would you start with?  I am guessing the water temps will be in the mid 60's.  I am not looking for giants here, just want to put some bass in the boat.  Seems like it has been awhile since I caught more than a dink or two in one outing.  Let me know what you think.

Thanks

Kinda late but I like what you already have rigged & in that order ;)

Good choices.  A swim jig may not be a bad addition, especially if that area is getting beat up and the fish are getting spooked by a bunch spinnerbaits clanging around.

your post speaks for itself. your baits sound good, and I would present them in that order. Start with the jig definitely.Good luck. I hope your day is full of fat bass, and not dinks !!!

I'd try locating some active first with a lipless crank. Then slow down as the bite dictates. A little late to tell you this now though! How did you make out today?

Thanks for the help guys.  The wind was a bit more than I like but I went anyway.  I fished around this little "bay" twice using the baits I mentioned, in that order (almost, I started with a spinnerbait).  I caught one small keeper right away.  I also caught a tiny little white bass on a crank.  That was it, for about three hours then I started to head back to the ramp.  I stopped and fished an underwater point that I learned about a couple years back but never fished.  Caught one dink on a crank there.  No more action after that so I headed back in.  Good thing I left when I did cuz the wind really started kickin.  I actually had to get knee deep to land my boat, the wind wouldn't let me close enough!  There was not as many folks fishing this area as I had anticipated, I am guessing maybe the bass haven't quite moved up in there yet. temps were 61 in that area.  Anyway, maybe again tomorrow, depends on the wind as usual.

Thanks again.
