It was rough fishing out there this morning; when I first got to the river, it was still dark, nice and calm out, the rain hadn’t started yet and the fish were biting but by 5:30, the wind had picked up and on top of that, they were letting a lot of water out and a pretty strong current had started, which is always bad news.
This morning I started with the 10.5” Zoom Ol’ Monster worms and caught a couple, missed a couple – they were on and came off the hook while I was reeling them in so I think someone needs to work on their hook-set 
. Then I started alternating between a chatterbait and a spinnerbait; nothing on the chatterbait and one on the spinnerbait. After that, I switched it up and put on a EWG 2/0 hook and put on a regular size Zoom U-tail worm, black-colored and caught a few on that. It was tough fishing those worms weightless with that wind in my face and as you can see in a couple of those pics, that green algae stuff is getting pretty thick again as well. I did a lot of walking back and forth this morning, trying to fish near rock piles, thinking that the bass would be sticking on the other side of the rocks, out of the current and that’s exactly where I caught most of my fish once the current started up. This has been a pretty good week; one of the best that I can remember having this time of year but according to the weather reports, it’s not looking to good at all for the rest of the weekend so I’m not sure if we’ll be able to take the boat out or not – which is something I was really looking forward to.
From the looks of the pics it doesn’t look like it was too rough Nomad…
Hey, I had to work, and work hard for those bass today!
and work you did… You hit them everyday this week and hey, four to five bass a day this time of year. Pretty damn good, I’m saying! lol
I’m not doubting how hard you had to work to catch them. All I’m saying is that from the pics it doesn’t look like it was all that rough of a Friday morning for you. Actually, it looks like it was a pretty enjoyable one.
Tough or not, the end result appears to be very rewarding, good job Nomad!
Hey it sounds like you guys are spawning.. lol
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I always enjoy fishing no matter what. What I meant was, that they weren’t exactly jumping on the hooks yesterday like they were on Tuesday – like I said, I did a lot of walking and casting yesterday. Hopefully the weather will cooperate so I can take the SS Netcutter out on Monday; battery is all charged up and so am I
Me and Nomad spawning. Now that would be UGLY!!! LOL
Rob,
LOL!!
good one Nomad.
