Our good friends at KMA claimed that this morning would be warm with no wind or rain until later in the day so I headed out to the river again before work. When I started fishing around 5:40, the river was like glass – just like advertised but by 6:20, the wind started blowing and got progressively worse. Blah! In the short window that the bass were biting, which wasn’t even 30 minutes, I batted .500 - I lost two and caught two but once the wind started blowing, the bite stopped completely.
The weather didn’t stop the boaters though…I saw at least 10 bass boats launch from the ramp near where I was fishing, plus four inflatables.
You’re posessed! You’re out of control! You my friend are a fishing fool – a machine!!!! LOL Congrats though. Any time on the water is good time, even if it is at 0500 on a workday…
Once again, more nice fish from the river. Now I am really looking forward to fishing it with you guys.
Nomad, is the ramp you talk about a different one from the one that was locked up by the farmer?? I can’t wait to bring my boat up there
Nomad, what’s surprising about today is that you say the boaters were out there early. Hmmmm… Usually they don’t start showing up until around 8 or 9.
Steve, I’m not Nomad but I’ll answer your question; it’s a different boat ramp, and a much nicer one at that. You should have no problems whatsoever launching from it.
Rob,
Yes I am out of control! I’m a fishing machine!
I just wish that weather front would have waited one more hour to start coming in. Once again, the fish started getting active right after first light, which today was a little after 6, due to the cloud cover but it started getting windy shortly after that and the fish turned off as soon as it did. Yep, the first vehicles with boats started showing up right around 6:15 or so, and kept coming till right before 0700 so it must have been a PBA event…they all seemed to know each other.
Steve,
We;ll try to save you a few fish for when you come up this way
Regarding the ramp, what Rob said.
