4/6-Return to Murray

[VinnyBass]

Geez, I guess it is apart of being old but with the recent heat waves, water going up and then down to even close the ramp and then back up a little to open the ramp at Murray,I just have not fished there much at all. With a little cooler weather in the forecast, I decided to give it a go this morning. Cloudy conditions when I arrived and saw a few swirls out on the surface so I tossed a small Gunfish. Dang, I lost a bass on my first cast on a jump. I landed 2 small bass after that and later It seemed that each time I tried to get over to where a few bass were jumping, they were long gone, but managed a 3rd bass on that Gunfish. Lot of time was going by as a light rain started to fall. I tied on a Berkley Finisher which is a lipless sort of crank bait and landed 3 more small bass down in deeper water. Before leaving I tied on a Berkley Ripfish and landed 2 more small bass down deep(one being a hungry micro bass). Glad to finally get back out on the water again and while all the bass were pretty small, still had a fun time.

I’d take your “small bass” any day VB

That middle one is a chunk. They all look healthy. Thanks for posting!

She was small, but solid......lots of shad in her.

Vinney, are you using FFS?

Vinney, are you using FFS?

Off and on in the later morning, but mostly
just made a lot of just random casts. The more
my lines in the water, the odds get a little better.

Just something extra:
I have electronics on one of my kayaks which I have taken up to the Lake of D & K on
Fridays. Last year I took my small kayak that has no electronics at all and had the best day catching bass in a
long time. It was noteworthy because McFish always catches more than me at his home lake, and I
caught more than McFish. Sometimes you just have to fish based on years of doing it and not always rely
on electronics.

I’m glad you got back out to Murray, I don’t get to go out much and when I get to go on my buddies boat he doesn’t have any electronics he does have a trolling motor and for us that’s a real luxury.
Now that you’re back I can at least read some posts as it’s been slow on the posts. Thanks keep em coming.
