Fished a retention pond this evening from 6:30- 8:30. Water is still murky, but close to normal level. Don't have a thermometer (yet) so not sure of the exact water temp.
Started with a spinnerbait to find an active Bass or two hanging around the inlet. Nothing doing...... Tied on a ratltrap and tossed it out a tad deeper........ Nope.
Let's see...Aha! Carolina rig a garlic chomper tube, that will call a few in for a look. Oops, too big. Garlic chomper grub, that's it....... Uh uh.
O.K....I've got it now...a power worm, electric grape. These Bass love that color.......
Not today they don't .
It's getting pretty dark now....time for the old stand-by. Buzzbait!......... Ummm...no.
Downsize, grab the short rod....yellow twistertail for crappies or gills, vertical jigging the shoreline always works....damn mosquitos!!........ I'm outta here.
WHAT GIVES??
