merc1997 Bo 3,691 Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 been out the last two days doing some snooping. yesterday was a 20" walter and 3 keeper lmg. 5 or 6 shorts. that kind of zeroed me in a bit, and i fine tuned that today. 10 keeps, one lmg over 6 and a 5lb.+ walter. several shorts. kind of bo-garted onto a spot they were piled up on. sometimes many years of fishing will help you kind of know a small spot that needs to be sampled. was fishing crystal clear water with hi-vis yellow braid tied straight to the lure. most bites were at dead rest. bites were 10 to 15ft. these bass are really nearly asleep, and you just have to have the patience to keep lure in a spot for a while. i see way too many folks that do not their lure with enough speed in the summer, and then turn around and fish way too fast in the winter. sure, there are always exceptions to the rule, but not often. i did catch both picture fish. taylor wanted a pic of the walter so he photoed himself. bo Quillback, Daryk Campbell Sr, nomolites and 16 others 19 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
