: Fish caught at: Local Pond
: Recent BASS activity:
: Hey the bass are hitting and hitting lots of lures.
: Last week was a great one. Several bass caught
: on plastic worms (1 "clear" brown, and 1 pure natural brown worm).
: The plastics came from 2:30-8:30 at varies times.
: At 8:30 four nights ago lost a big 4 pounder.
: My line broke during the exciting fight.
: Small bass can be caught on something life-like
: and something that flashes, i.e. mepps.
: Also have had and seen good luck on topwater.
: Lures used were reg thick, long rapala and a
: spit n' image. I myself had one small one, but another guy
: was doing great. One was a beauty, meaning
: 2 pounds. He just would cast parallel to shore
: and zig zag it back. Also, big plastic crayfish
: produced fish. Work it slow. Hits come from structures.
: Find structures, cast around, behind, infront, and INTO
: structures. INTO is important. If you see a bass go
: under a branch, cast your lure under the branch.
: Get it into structure.
: Bluegills are active like always. Keep hooks small
: to lower the risk of killing the snippers.
: Catfish should get going. One guy caught a
: catfish on a bluegill. He hooked the gill and the cat
: came after the gill. Twenty inch cat is not to shabby.
: POST SPAWN:
: Don't be afraid of the post spawn time,
: Consider live bait and keep working those
: structures. If I am worng, tell me, but,
: males start to guard those nests. The females
: should be hungy and thinner but hey its
: a BASS!!!!!!!!
Hi,
How long were the plastic worms, were they weighted and how heavy, and where
did you cast?
