well. took the BOSS fishing tonight.  it was dark when we put in and quit a bit before 1:30.  bass have moved just a tad deeper.  most bites to begin with were 25 ft.  caught a few 15 to 20 as it got later.  the 1 oz. Elite Black Widow and the 1 oz. Elite Mega Blade did most of the damage.  i did catch a few on a 3/4 GrassJig.  ended up with 14 keepers.  the Boss caught 6 of them.

almost everything we caught was further back in bigger coves.  that seemed to be where most of the bait was.

Looks like the small jaws kept you all pretty busy.  Nice report and good to see the gals swinging the big stick.

Looks to me like the boss is a smallie magnet.

goes to show what you can do with a clean slate.  i got to start with linda from the start.  she had never fished.  started her out with a spinning reel.  made her learn to use a bait caster.  her casting skills still need to improve before teaching her to fish a crank bait in close quarters.  i could not afford to replace all the breakage.  she has learned what the non-bites are, and will catch her share when they are there to be caught.

now it might take quite a while to teach her to go find them on her own and keep the boat where it needs to be, but i would bet she would pick it up very quickly.  but, truth is, she likes to have a guide do all that for her.  i would like to get a video of her reeling them in.  the mlf fishing fellers, have nothing on her when it comes to skiing them in.  i kind of enjoy getting all the fun out of them anymore.
