Fished Diamond Bay last week, Wednesday and Sunday (9/30/12). Caught 10 bass Sunday fishing daylight till 9:00 AM. Using a KVD coffee watermelon with red flake 7 inch worm. Not any big ones, but a lot of fun. Wednesday caught 8 bass using a plastic crawfish watermelon/pumpkin seed bicolor with smelly jelly crawfish scent. The smelly jelly really does smell like crawfish and the fish would gulp the bait soon at the bait hit the water.
Both days I would catch fish throwing at rocky banks. Non rocky banks would not produce fish. My guess is the bass were chasing crawfish in the rocks.
Also caught 4 stripers Wednesday (9/27/12) fishing live gizzard shad in open water. Fish were between 16 and 19 pounds. Just one of those days where I was at the right place at the right time. Stripers were light biting the shad fished at 26 feet. The school of stripers moved in and out in a matter of about 30 minutes. But for that short time frame it was one bite after another. Not a single bite after the school
retreated.
Good fishing,
Fishnet
