9/2 Cedar Ridge to Hi Point

[Dutch]

It got cloudy and cool yesterday afternoon so I decided to try some early evening fishing.  I got on the water at 4:30 and fished until 7:30.  I found some spinner bait fish and managed 8 on a bleeding shad.  Then I gave that sistyugler jig that I made yesterday a workout.  I only had one thump on it with no takers.  I switched to my old standby shaky and only had 1.  I saw a lot of shad in some very skinny water back in a pocket so I picked up the setup with a white buzz bait.  7 bass got serious about it while some others just blew up behind it.

All in all it was a fun 3 hours.  I totaled 16 largemouths with only had 3 keepers but averaged a fish about every 12 minutes.  I’ll take that kind of action any day.  Next cool afternoon after Labor Day they better look out.

Thanks.  I believe there are quite a few fish to be caught like that right no but I can only do it for short periods as I am rehabing from hand surgery which is taking a lot longer that I would have thought.
