Went this morning for a couple hours. Got the CBA all nighter tonight so I did not want to hit anywhere I was going to hit for it. I started drowning a swim bait right at sun up. Fishing an edge in about 18 to 21 feet I caught five on it with one nice keeper and four just short. Don't know where the big ones were there. Never could find them. I also kept having something grab it and when I set the hook it let it go. Pulled out a deep crank and nailed a nice white bass. I guess their mouths were too small for that big swim. Hit a deeper drop with rock along a bank and only managed one bass there just short. It was on a shakey. I moved to some docks and caught three there with two keepers, one on a blade and one on a shakey. It was slow this morning for the most part. I moved again and headed for a large grass flat. The grass is starting to top out and the area I started had the grass just under the surface by about a foot. Made several casts with different baits and finally had a big one explode on the spook. emoThumbsup Got her in and I would guess she would go about four lbs., maybe a little more. I would love to have five like her tonight. Thought I was onto something but only was able to catch one more on the spook and it was short. It was about eleven and getting hot. I decided to call it a day early to charge my batteries back up and take a nap for this evening. emoTongue Not a bad little trip, had eleven bass come in the boat with four that would keep. Hope to see some of you all this evening at the CBA. emoToast Jmax
