bass fishing

I squeezed in one day of fishing last week. Surprising to see water temperatures drop to the low 80’s but that won’t last long.

Stick Marsh has been good for me these past few outings but it all depends on the bait activity to make for a successful outing. At this time of year, picking a consistent spot on the lake will make or break a good day. Only if the bait is active will the bass be feeding aggressively for the first couple of hours before the sun gets higher in the sky. Pray for a little bit of cloud cover on the eastern horizon to make the bite last a little longer. My best lure so far for me is a bone color Yo Zuri 3DB Pencil that has a walking type pattern when retrieved. With the internal rattles it makes the bass go crazy to eat it. After the bait settled down, I switched to a suspending jerk bait for a few more fish. All in all I boated 23 fish and was back to the ramp by 10am.
