As I suspected, the bass are heading to or are already in deeper water as the heat of summer is upon us. Fish, like people, get pretty lethargic when it’s hot – they don’t want to move unless absolutely necessary so you have to find them and pretty much drop the bait right in front of their noses. Big difference from just a few weeks ago when they were still active and biting really good. Most of the fish we got were caught very early and by 9 or so, the action had died down so we came home early.
We headed out at 4:15 this morning to a lake we haven’t tried in a while and don’t fish that often – mainly because the bass aren’t that big. We didn’t do too bad, all things considered; Ty caught 4 bass, Khalil caught 3 real nice ones that I saw (not sure how many more he caught since he decided to stay and fish some more), I caught a couple and found a pretty nice new-looking lure that someone else lost recently.
See Gar, I catch small ones too. How little guys like this one go after a 5 inch Senko worm is beyond me as the lure is almost as big as the fish.
The only decent one I caught – nothing to brag about but that’s about the biggest size I’ve seen caught out of this lake. And after you fillet them and fry them up, they all look the same anyway
Did you bring the correct measuring tools?
