06/23/2009 Man what a difference a day makes, the gods must have heard my prayers. We got in front of Bass right out of the gate today with raising 2 Bass on topwater at our first location of the day. With the current flowing hard and cloudy threatening skies we decided to keep on keeping on with the top water presentation. We did a hit and runs on our way to an old school spot that was looking way to good to pass up, and 3 casts in and we were hooked up with a nice teen size Bass. We raised 2 other Bass and caught another 2 teen size schoolies. It was now confirmed that I would be running to all my old school spots of yesteryear. So with that in mind we raced across the shallows to target layed up Bass in the basins and 4 casts in to the area and we raised a nice Bass that turned off boatside. A few minutes later we hooked up with another nice fish in the 26" class and a few minutes later we had him boat side for photos. We saw the pattern of these bass plain as day at this location raising another 3 bass going 0/3 at that spot. As we neared the end of our trip I decided to run to one last area that if all was still going according to plan should have Bass laid up, ready and willing and usually holds larger bass....and they where. We missed 3 Bass, broke off another and boated 3 others all between 28 and 30". I gotta tell ya today was a well needed day breaking that "pattern of no pattern" Bass fishing. now that the bait is hear the Bass finally got into positions that are much more stabile and pattern oriented. I love it when a plan comes together. Let the games begin
