I batted 500 this morning, which I was still happy with, considering how bleak it’s been the last few weeks and that we’re into the post-spawn and summer..
Today was combination day; I threw spinnerbaits, a jig and also a Karu Lures Vibrashock. The morning started out quiet without a bite for the first hour so I was getting resigned for another skunk and standing there day dreaming while throwing a spinnerbait (white/red, of course) when a bass nailed the lure. I was so surprised to have a fish on that I didn’t set the hook, didn’t lower the rod tip to keep the fish from jumping – so that’s exactly what it did, and threw the lure. That got the juices flowing again and after 10 minutes or so, I caught the above. Sorry for the crappy release pic but it’s been a while and I’m out of practice

Lol, what signs??
Glad you managed to keep that skunk at bay Nomad, nice catch!!
Hahahahaha Steve…exactly. I’m a criminal through and through
After all that rain we had over the weekend, the water is still surprisingly clear, although they did lower it about 2 feet. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; there’s nothing like catching a bass on a spinnerbait!
Lol Nomad, you criminal you
From that second photo, it looks like that bass just “slipped” out of your grasp, slippery buggers aren’t they 
The lake I fished yesterday was also very clear, at least 5 to 6 foot visibility, which is very unusual for this area.
Yep, that’s the ticket…it “slipped” LOL
Nice fish Nomad, and I love the release, errr, I mean “fish slipped out of my hands and into the water” pic!!
And yea, the water is surprisingly clear for the amount of rain we had over the weekend.
Weird, but fish slipping out of my hands seems to happen a lot. Maybe my motor skills are declining in my old age?
I was so sure that the water was going to be muddy that I had a spinnerbait with a colorado blade tied on but changed that to one with willow blades once I saw how clear it was.
WTG Nomad! I hit Kunsan Bass tomorrow! YEAH
Ack! Last night I checked the KMA weather site and they were predicting 10-24mm of rain this morning so I stayed in bed…by now, I should know better
Not a drop this morning. Blah! Good luck at Kunsan, Ty.
Nomad, I was just informed this morning that the Korean rainy season starts tomorrow
Steve,
Yeah I heard the same thing; hopefully this year’s rainy season is like last year’s, non-existing.
