Went out today in my good friend Jeb's boat, got to hold down the back deck and make sure it didn't float away.

We started at dawn, fished a few points with c-rigs and jigs and pulled out a few bass to start the day, after doing that for an hour or so we started motoring down the lake towards the mouth of the Kings. On the way there, Jeb spotted some schooling bass chasing shad on a do nothing beach area that we usually just pass by on the way to wherever it is we are going.

We probably caught around 50 bass in that area, spoons, topwater, and drop shot. Typical fish would be a 14" spot at about 1.5 lbs. Some were smaller, a few bigger. Also a few largemouth, mean mouth, and one smallie. Just a huge school of black bass chasing shad in 20-40 FOW.

All told we caught around 70 bass today, maybe 10 were at 15" or better.

Sun came out about 11 AM and it got tough after that, and we were off the water about 2 PM.

Water temp was 75.

Very nice!

It was a fun day for sure! Those schooling days like that are where I think my Calais DC reels earn their pay. I can cast a spoon a mile with those things in L mode, and many of my fish came at the end of LONG casts.
