Night Outing- Big Indian

[Sprint21fter]

Fished a benefit tournament for a Berryville man having open heart surgery. Great turnout, close to 50 boats. 4 fish limit. It was tough on everyone. I believe top stringer was barely 10 lbs. 5.20 was big fish. We only had 3 for a smidge over 9lbs. Couldn't find the 4th keeper. Had a great time for a great cause. I will leave the poor fish alone for a couple weeks since I will be on vacation. Stay cool guys and keep catching them.

Fished last night and this morning early. Fishing is very tough. Hard to get bites that’s for sure. I had fish schooling all around me for an hour and could only get 3 to the boat. Tried topwster, swimbait, jigs, spoon, and deep cranks.

the bass were a bit more scattered last night, and now i know why there seemed to be boats running everywhere.  linda and i scrapped up 15 keepers.  we did have one lmg that was in the 3 lb.  range, two nice k's, and the rest brownies.  of the brown ones, 4 in the 3 range.

i believe the bass are in the process of making another depth adjustment of about 5 ft.  does not sound like much, but over the years, i have noticed that each time the bass make a depth adjustment, it scatters them a bit and takes a week or so for them to get gathered back up.

we caught several 30 ft. bass last night.  caught everyone of them on the 1 oz. big flopper, and the 1 oz. spinjig.  these moving baits are most definitely what it is taking to trigger more bites, plus, with these bass being scattered out on flatter terrain, one can cover a vast amount of water that can not be done with a jig or a worm.

thanks to those that fished the benefit to help a great cause.  we will get that fellow in our prayers.
