last two days

[merc1997 Bo]

been out the last two days doing some snooping.  yesterday was a 20" walter and 3 keeper lmg.  5 or 6 shorts.  that kind of zeroed me in a bit, and i fine tuned that today.  10 keeps, one lmg over 6 and a 5lb.+ walter.  several shorts.  kind of bo-garted onto a spot they were piled up on.  sometimes many years of fishing will help you kind of know a small spot that needs to be sampled.  was fishing crystal clear water with hi-vis yellow braid tied straight to the lure.  most bites were at dead rest.  bites were 10 to 15ft.  these bass are really nearly asleep, and you just have to have the patience to keep lure in a spot for a while.

i see way too many folks that do not their lure with enough speed in the summer, and then turn around and fish way too fast in the winter.  sure, there are always exceptions to the rule, but not often.

i did catch both picture fish.  taylor wanted a pic of the walter so he photoed himself.

The doodle catches all. Nice fish. Seriously nice fish. And you are right, bait speed is tied to water temp.

Fish are stupid....Yellow braid is good because you can see it. Fish do not care.
