acres of bass

Saturday am, ran all over looking for fish, finally hit a small school around 8am thanks to some terns, got 3 bass 28" - 30". Pouring rain and fog made it tough to locate them since they were moving around. Around 9 headed towards home to try another spot, suddenly came upon the mother lode, acres of birds and bass as far as I could see, not sure if it was the fog, but I was the only boat on them. They were all over the surface slurping what looked like tiny silversides. The next 3 hours was solid fish all cookie cutter 26" - 32" with some larger ones mixed in. Must of landed over 30 fish. Most fun I ever had, I couldnt believe how many fish there were. As the fog cleared, they got very picky and I was I getting most fish on a wooden egg with a small fly. More boats joined the fun but the fish were so spread out noone was near me. Had to leave at 12:15 to meet my wife. I took some pics but due to the rain, fog and waves, you cant really see anything clearly. My hands are hamburger!

I'll be around Ryan. Give the house a call.

"That large bass rise in the dim light of the false dawn, and take my steel-lipped swimmer. It will thrash, pull like mad and throw water all over the place before it dives for refuge.
This is why I am a surfcaster." - D.J. Muller

Great report, Jimmy. Thanks for the encouraging information!

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
