Today I realized I haven't been fishing in 3 weeks! Once the shock wore off, I took stock of my options. Sunset was at 6:30 and I had to work till 5. Puting the boat in for 1 hour seemed like a stretch. Instead, I made a short trip to the local campground fishing hole. These fish have been hit hard all summer long. Last time I was here, I caught one bass in 2 hours of prime morning fishing. Because of traffic I didn't get out to the water till 6:00, which left about 45 minutes of fishing.
The average air temp has been down since Monday at 40-65 degrees. The water was like glass when I got there and I didn't see anything moving on top. They say if you catch a fish on the first cast, it's bad luck. But with such a short time to fish, I was happy this guy took the very first cast....
About 15 minutes later had a smaller fish on, but he got off before I could land him - like to call that the 'easy release'.
Those that walked by said they didn't have any luck, so I felt very fortunate to have some action - especially after these bass have seen every lure in the book for the last 4 months.
