And some days, they want small.
I started out with the Zoom Ol’ Monster worms again this morning but the bass didn’t want anything to do with them so I put on a 5”, black Zoom U-tail worm, weightless and started fishing that. One thing I found out right away is that with a worm that size, you’ll catch dinks. And I caught 9 or 10 out there this morning and some of the dinks I caught made the fish I’ve been calling dinks in other posts look like Moby Dick. Seriously, I caught 2 or 3 that weren’t more than 3 inches long. Fortunately, I also caught the 3 above, which made it a pretty good morning all around. Now if I could just get some decent sunrises again!

Well, now you know what is attracting those bigger ones to the area – 3″ long bass sammiches for breakfast!
Lots of fry swimming around near shore, and also quite a few small bass hiding right up against the bank, among the rocks. As I walk along the shore, I can see them scoot out. It just cracks me up, a 3-inch bass attacking a 5-inch worm. One of them completely swallowed the worm. I should have taken a picture of that.
You’ve got your own little ecological study going on right there at the PBA area Nomad.
Time to throw some baby bass colored lures
Good catches yet again Nomad. Now let me head over to your “It’s Friday” post
Hmmm, I do have both 4 and 5 inch baby bass-colored Senkos
I would suggest a baby bass crankbait or lipless crankbait, but not in that river, lol.
Not unless fishing from a boat. From shore, one cast and you’d be back to worms
