10/7/24 Cape Fair

[Dutch]

Jeff met me at 06:30 this morning.  We headed down lake.  We looked for a top water bite that wasn’t there.  We each got one on a buzz bait but nothing on a regular top water.  When I tired of that I started throwing a shaky.  I caught a couple but Jeff was using a jig.  His jig was getting more bites than my worm so I switched back and forth from jig to shaky.  He stuck with the jig.  We wound up catching 20 bass, mostly spots.  We didn’t really measure many but had some good quality fat spots that were just shy of 15.

That jig bite was a squirrely one, I take a little pride in being able to detect jig bites, but I bet I had a half dozen at least that I thought were bites, but never reacted to in time.  Swung and missed on several and had 4 or 5 throughout the morning that chased the jig back to the boat.  Just a funny day, I blame it on the weather.

Weather was great, a bit chilly to start but really nice when we left.  Did not see a cloud the entire day.  

We saw several turkeys down by the lake.  

Thanks for the trip buddy!
