3/31 Cap

Post by Dfishin »

Made it out earlier waiting for gate to open. Weather was cloudy, drizzle and windy. I thought a chatter bait would work, first cast got slammed and it came off. Then nothing. No jerk bait fish. But the DS and senko was on fire. While others are hitting big rock piles, I was hitting the stuff in between, from 1' of water to 20'. I didn't think it was possible, it happened. I hit the 50 mark. Biggest 3 1/2lbs.

After netting I would throw out another line and this happened a few times.

Yes cap is on fire. Got 26 Friday morning throwing parallel to the shore. Best fish went 21 3/4”
Lots of fry
Still looking for a big cat. Usually I get a big one on plastic.

I'm a boater just had to adapt while I can. Barrett boats not in my budget as much as I want to go.

That’s an epic day man! Hitting the unassuming stretches of shoreline has been a sweet recipe for good numbers lately. I’ve been switching up methods a bit more lately trying to chase a bit more quality since I’ve been getting large numbers of 1.5-2.5 lb. clones, but man it’s hard to do that when you know you could go after numbers instead and still probably get a couple good quality fish mixed in. Congratulations on hitting that 50 mark!

My next trip, that is my plan A. Maybe Saturday! The bigger ones I see, just look, stare or swim off. Then tap clone on. Look at the pic with a graph the dots are clones.

This is a good example of how decreased pressure & a smaller pond can produce better #'s per trip.

Put BASS rock on your GPS so you can find it when the water fills back in. 😎

I knew who you were with your dad all tucked in behind you. Good job fun times! That looks like the chatter bait and trailer I throw.
There are hundreds of bass around 30' destroying bait. They will be busting at some point. I just like catching bass and not a fan if I have to vent them.

I have marked so many spots, sad thing the guy working there said it will be years if ever back to normal. They will start pulling more water this month sometime.
