06/11/2010 Today was like a pure fall day for the exception that its June. When pushed off from the dock it was 55 degrees air temps and 60 water temps light winds and it felt alive. We had good moving water as we are approaching the new moon so I knew we would see Bass pretty quickly today. We made a short skiff ride to our 1st flat of the day once settled down I hadn't even got up on the platform yet to pole us onto the flat yet and we could already see Bass working the shallows. I poled us in to position and no sooner that the plug hit the water on our 2nd casts of the day we had a bruiser size Bass crash and roll on it and miss leaving a manhole size boil behind. The next 2 casts 2 more misses then finally our following cast we were tight an a few minutes later we had the skunk out of the boat with a nice 21" Bass. We stayed with these bass for about an hour before we lost them. We managed 3 more Bass and raised and missed 5. We continued to work the flat for about another 1/2 hour before we plucked another fun 22" bass laid up in the current. With the current on the wain we made a run to a "small window" flat in hopes to find a few Bass rooting in the grass for shrimp. We crystal clear water good mix of bait. and after a few minutes we saw some good movement on the edge of the flat and with a precision casts "WHACK" we were hooked up to what seemed to be a very solid Bass and after very back and forth battle on 6 lb test we had bloat side a 5 .lb side hooked Blue. but fun none the less. Even though topwater was priority we mad a quick stop to work the subsurface in an area but it only produced a few quick tugs. With the conditions just right and our trip drawing to a close I decided to made make a quick skiff ride to a very fun old school spot called "Lochness" to try and hit a few more topwater Bass in this remote area. It took about 5 minutes of working the gin clear water be for we were hooked up with a healthy 20" Bass. Oh yeah good ole' Lochness, Its like comin home again. We had to 2 more Bass opportunities there but could not close the deal. |
