That seems to be the magic number lately; I went out three times this week and each time I caught four bass, and none of them have been anything to write home about. The bigger fish are out in the deeper (and cooler) water right now and I think it’ll be mid September or October before things from shore pick up again. Here are a couple of sunrise pics:
What you see below was pretty much it; all four fish this morning were about the same size and hit 4-inch, black Senkos.
Even though I’m only catching dinks these days, I still enjoy being out there early in the morning, doing what I love to do and of course, the thought is always in the back of my mind that I could get lucky and hook into a decent fish
4 is definitely better than the 0 I caught yesterday! lol
I really wanted to go out today but I overslept – it’s pretty hot and humid out there so it was probably for the best.
Nomad, you should try fishing from sundown and through the night, that’s when the big bass are supposed to come in shallow to feed. I caught some nice bass in 2006 at night in a lake that only seems to have hundreds of dinks during the day
Rob,
Never thought I hear the day that YOU caught ’0′
Steve,
I’ve been trying to get there around 4:30 when it’s still dark out but so far, no luck with the bigger bass. Now, just a month ago and prior to that, that was the time I was catching my biggest ones, right before and at first light.
LOL, I think Rob meant that he didn’t catch any because he didn’t go fishing
I haven’t been fishing in about a month unfortunately…
The last time I went out was with you on July 4th. It doesn’t seem like that long ago, does it?
No, it sure doesn’t. Damn, the time sure does fly by…an entire month with no fishing
I had other things to accomplish, like the Security+ exam and a couple of good drunks. lol The bad thing is that if I don’t get out there next weekend it’ll be another three weeks before I’ll be able to due to work commitments.
I feel your pain Rob, it’ll be another 3 weeks before I can wet a line again also.
Nomad, I have found that the bigger fish will feed from sun-down til midnight rather than early morning during the hot summer months (that’s the way it worked for me).
Rob,
Fall is just around the corner
Steve,
Maybe I’ll have to take one afternoon/evening and give it a try so I can get out of the “dinks” leagues. LOL
