Quit Counting

[Cindyjo]

Started fishing at 6:45am. They just wouldn't quit. Within 1hour caught 20 and I quit counting. I thought when the sun rose above the trees they would stop. They didn't. I fished in 12' of water with 20' on one side and 35' on the other. I thought when the breeze picked up out of the north they would stop. They didn't. I lost my last chartruse colored road runner and thought they would quit. They didn't. But I did at 10:45 with a growling stomach and raw thumb I headed in.

The bass consistently hit when the lure was dropping. Sometimes I would hang up on a ledge and released the tension. As soon as the jig dropped it was hit. I don't believe the jig was ever hit unless it was dropping. Using 6# test on an ultra lite. Only 2 would have been keepers. The rest were consistently in the 12" to 14" range with maybe 2 of the fish less than 12". Although I quit counting I'm sure I caught 40 - 50 fish. Water temp at 45 degrees. i will be out again in the next day or two.

Good on you, you did a heck of a lot better than I did. I assume that water temp at 45 was a typo?

Whoops, 74 degrees.
