Berryman to Bass

[Coosa]

Did a solo day trip yesterday from berryman to bass. Fishing was excruciatingly slow. Only managed 11 fish in 13 miles. Had a few decent blow ups on topwater but they were far and few between and all whiffs. Nothing on spinners or flukes. Used a ned rig a bit just to get some dink action but since fishing was so slow I stuck with wtd and my spro rat 40. Love that rat! Did hook one good one on the rat in the last mile but he shook off a few feet from the boat. Me and the courtois definitely have a love hate relationship. I did put on a show for a spectator. Was standing in my coosa hd facing upstream when a barely submerged log snuck up on me. Had to bail Into chest deep water😂🤣

I was down at Bass for a family camping trip this weekend. Didn’t fish much but caught a few using a wacky rig or trick worm around the rip rap they dumped along the bank. It looked like there were several bass and goggleye guarding beds. Biggest caught was probably around 14”

Tough creek, and mostly nursery water. Will produce a 17-18” on occasion, but those are outliers.

My brother went Brazil to Blunts last week. He caught 35 and joined the 20" club. I wanted to go up to brazil because I've never done it but I didn't get on till almost noon and was afraid I wouldn't have time. Still had an hour and a half drive home when I got done and had to leave for Norflok, NE for work at 5am.

He said it was gnarly from brazil to berryman.  Bass said they hadn't put anyone up there in 2 years. LOTS of Portages. He even flipped the yak a couple times which is odd for him

Going to Bass River this weekend. Hoping to produce some fish on a Friday and Saturday float.
