bass are still biting, but

[merc1997 Bo]

went back to the lower end again last night.  it was back to hunting those darn critters down again.  actually, they were somewhat scattered and you got a bite where you happened to get one.  all of the shad that had been deep, were all 10 to 15 ft. deep last night.  however, we had very little luck fishing at those depths.  the bass we did catch were still in the 25 to 30 ft. range.  we did end up with a dozen keeps, but they were all just 15 to 16 inch bass, and we did catch several shorts.

the bass definitely got more active after the moon came up, and we left them biting at 2:30 this morning.  it is hard to quit fishing when it is so pretty out, no boats on the water, and the bass are biting.  

the best bait last night was the 1 oz. SpinJig, but our last stop, the 3/4 oz. GrassJig caught all of them.  we did catch one or two on a 1/2 oz. with a plastic crawdad.  did not catch any on a senko or various styles of worms.  we did have a decent mix of all three varieties and would catch all three on the same spot.  one thing that i caught onto last night was the fact that catchable bass were not strung through an area as they had been, and you had to keep throwing at a particular spot.  water temp was showing to be 82.3.  with the variance in how much the shad had came up last night, there could be many bass scattering from summer homes.  the weather will dictate how fast that happens.

Great report Bo.

Good job Bo. I sensed they were scattering and running in little packs.

Thank for the report Bo

The few fish we caught Sunday we had to make repeated casts at the pieces of cover to draw strikes.  Be it a rock, corner of dock, big cedar tree. Wait a minute the fish are scattering.  CRAP!!!
