Evening Bass

[John Andrews]

Well Friday sucked so bad at work, I decided to hit my favorite bass spot. Brought in 5 total in two hours and the best was this 15 incher. Man that was fun on ultra light equipment. I watched him swim away to fight another day.

It was about 5 pm and I spotted some shad jummping like crazy. Tossed the lure into the missle of the school and did a few short jerks. (very short about 2 seconds apart) and wham. He hit it so hard he cleared the water. caught 4 more smaller bass along the rock cliff near the dam. The bass in the picture was caught about 30 yards south of the park boat launch. He is still there, I release all my fish unless they are injured and within legal limits.

^{I also been catching a good amount of smallmouth on the James. Using a fly rod and some home tied top water flys. Now if I could only get a largemouth to hit on a fly rod THAT would be a fight.}
