Yeah, it is closer and the daytime bite right now for me really isn't much better on TR. Indian creek arm is very scenic, not much development, and there is just all kinds of good looking cover to fish. Things could set up for a good fall bite in that area with all the shad that are there. In the words of Ah-nuld: "I'll be back."

Wesley's Vee "W". A wake bait made out of Balsa. No hot dog trailer needed.

Always liked Johnny Cash. If you can do a self portrait of yourself with a song, he did it here when he covered this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt1Pwfnh5pc

I was out there yesterday myself, except I was in the Indian creek cove all morning. Caught a half dozen dinks, had one strong puller that got off about 2 seconds after it was hooked. I got them on jigs and top water. I wasn't expecting much, but I was hoping I could get a couple of nice smallmouth. Little one inch shad are all over the place in that cove.

I hate to admit it, but I think they are pretty tasty. However, I doubt you will ever see them on the shelf at a health food store. Potted meat spread is pretty good too, and I love spam. Spam and mustard sandwich, yum!

All this hot dog talk and no one has mentioned the one food item that is hot dog like, but with it's own unique, distinctive flavor. Also serves in a pinch as catfish bait, but I doubt the bass will touch it. It comes in a can with a pull top -you know what it is:
-
I see it is in stock at TW, probably is at other places also. Some of the colors are sold out. So far I have resisted the urge to purchase, but I'm thinking it could be a good bait this fall.
-
Glad to hear you made it. Those wake boats can really kick out some big wakes.
-
I don't know if trailering your boat is an option, but I would do that and launch at Big M or Eagle Rock, rather than make the long trip by boat. If you fish the early morning, launching at daylight and fishing until 10 or 11 the boat traffic usually isn't too bad. That's on a week day I should add. Weekends it is worse I am sure.

Very nice - I always like the coloration on browns, they all seem to be unique.
-
Big Ol' white! Me and a buddy were out this morning up the White near Big M. About the same results, we each caught 10 bass, mostly spots in the 12-14" range, drop shots and C-rigs. Fish were around gravel points.

Nice one! That's some sweet fishing for this time of year.

Don't Forget to Count Your Fish.

Putrefied fish are the worse stink there is. Had a buddies bird dog roll in what was a plastic bag of long dead fish remains out in the weeds once when we were loading up the truck after hunting. Worse stink I think I have ever smelled. Dog thought it was great. -
Grubs - Danged if I know. Swimbaits - I like white and something in a green top/light colored bottom., Trailers - Green Pumpkin or black (with some sort of flake).
-
I like to lose them when they are about halfway back to the boat. I don't have to worry about livewells, weigh in bags, sand papered thumbs, and fish escaping the confines of whatever they are confined in. Bonus is I can tell the "I would have won if I had landed that huge bass" story back at the weigh in.

Hmmmm, an MMA bout between Fat Cat and Dance?

Slow morning for me, found several Largemouth early around a dock, boated 3, lost a couple of others halfway back to the boat. After that it was a grind, caught 2 more bass, keeper sized smallie and a meanmouth. Got them dragging a Megabug on a wobblehead, black/blue or watermelon. Lots of boat traffic and a surprising number of bass fishermen out there.

I think you have a few. I'm looking forward to cooler weather and Wart time!
-
Solid fish!
-
That's some pretty darned good fishing. Congrats!
-
Congrats, that is about as good as it gets for this time of year.
-
Good one Alex! BTW I recognize that tree in the background. Hooking up the boat in a few minutes...
-
Was that the "secret" cove? Don't tell anyone where it is.
-
I have heard a lot of good things said about BassCats, I am sure they are a fine boat. I think just about all the brands out there are decent boats. I am hoping my Phoenix will last me until the day I stop fishing.
