Saturday afternoon bassin

[redshad]

My wife and I went out for a few hours Saturday afternoon after the rain let up a bit.  We launched at Cedar Ridge around 3:15 cloudy, misty and windy.  We fished the deeper chunk rock banks from the 245 bridge to the High Point area.  We managed to catch 16 with 14 keepers nothing real big had several in the 3 to 3.5 range.  Caught them mainly 2 ways buzzbait and warts.  I didn't fish the black buzzbait to much because for it to work you had to get right up on the bank and parallel it and momma had no where to fish. When ever she would take a break for a few I would pull up to the bank and throw the busser.  I caught 4 or 5 on the buzzer all keepers lost one at the boat that was over 4.  I think I could have ran that pattern and had a nice sack.  The other way we caught them was throwing warts to the banks and retrieving them out.  The clouds and wind had them up pretty shallow and I think they had been feeding on craws pretty heavy.  Most of the fish we caught were pretty beat up from the dorsal fin to the tail on their sides.  I think they have been rubbing on the rock catching craws.  Look at the one in the pick you can see it on the sides.  Several of the fish were more beat up than this one.  Water temps were 77-78 looking forward to some cooler fall temps.

Everyday is different.  I think we just hit on an afternoon they feeding.  I would think you could catch them on a jig if they didn't want to hit a moving bait.  Some days they just don't want to eat and its hard to make them... grrrr   What won the Joe Bass Sunday?
