My friend Rich Henrion and I went out yesterday afternoon for a few hours of Bass fishing…During the past couple weeks all I needed was a couple rods and a box of jigs, and several bags of Trigger X Flappin craws. Tonight was no exception. It was a partly cloudy, windy day with some gusts to 25 mph. Very tough to fish plastics in that kind of wind, but I worked down a sheltered shoreline which had some good shadows on the water and sunken trees. I started out with a natural green colored New Penny football jig, casting to deeper water logs and blow downs. It wasn’t before a chunky 2 1/2 lber smacked the jig and the “ice “ was broken.
We picked up several smaller bass the next couple hours, fishing deep water cover. An hour before dark I followed the deep water edge of a large 4-6 fow sand flat where I saw some feeding activity and the fun began…A hit on almost every cast for both of us for a solid hour!!! These were mostly 13- 15” schooling juveniles with an occasional 2-3 lber mixed in. As darkness fell and I started the Yamaha, about 25 bass came to the boat for the two of us in just over an hour… it was a good night out and a great sign the fall feeding binge is on the way.
PS…please forgive my “shaky” cameraman…he was in a hurry to resume fishing at the time
