Lower Bull Bass Report 9/27/14

[Fish24/7]

WT 76-77

655.3

8-11am

Bass fished in Big Creek. Tried some shoreline topwaters first thing for about an hour, caught 1 dink. Just like the last time I found some bass 20-30' on the bottom out in the middle of a cove. Shad were present ,but there was little if any surface activity besides gar. The bass were relating to rock transitions on the bottom, and were not up on the banks. I was "zoomed in" on the fish finder to see the changes in bottom composition. From what I could see it was clay?,pea gravel and chunk rock. Broke out the baby rage craws on a 5/16oz. fb shaky head and caught a fat 16"+ spot on the first cast. Just kept fan casting that area ,and switching craw colors every 15-20 casts to show them something diff. Wound up catching 8 big,fat, football spotted bass there! Long time between bites, but they were big bites

I fished out of Tucker Hollow this morning. I tried spinnerbaits in Bear Creek but the new water level seems to have changed it. I only managed 2. Then I moved to the state line cove and got 3 on cranks. The last thing I did was use spooks on bluffs. Got lots of blow ups but only caught 7. Less then half of mine would measure.

Dutch thanks for the report man.

were those spook fish hitting in the shade or full sun?

I was fishing the shaded E, S/E banks before the sun got high, but I didn't try any bluffs.

Full sun and all 3 kinds(brown, green and spotted fish).
