Attachment 247762
bite was slower than last week but fewer throwbacks. By 10 it was unbearably hot even with the top up so we headed out. Saw Stu and Tim out enjoying the morning as well. Ended the day with an repeat of Monday. Man them bass are sure thick in 4' of water. Was sure good to be back on em again, just cant wait for it to cool a lil bit.

See yall on the water:biggrin
Hey, the weather guesser was right, water looking very slick = HOT!! At least ya got a couple more meals for your efforts, nice tally Mike, have to let me know how sweet that bass meat fries up, never tried one down here....
Jefff them lil bucks eat just fine. Bout the same to me as a bluegill and sometimes a little milder depending on what the bream are feeding on. I dont normally keep em whennSpeck fishing except when gill hooked and bleeding. But if I am striper, sunshine or bass fishing its game on.
Nice catch thanks for sharing
Must be some kind of phenomena, these bass that is, have not caught so many speck fishing this area for 13 yrs....Quote:

Sounds like a great day to me! Thanks for sharing Mike.:biggrin
That was the difference for me, I guess.I stayed in 5' or more and had a slower bite and started later too. Good job Mike, good to see you two out again today. I posted about my trip in your other post about maybe going Saturday.
Them fish were not in 4'. I got into 4' trying to turn around on the fish. Thrre was a ball of shad about 20' wide that them fish were on. The flat water made em visible flickering on top. I kept swinging back around on them and pulling the edges. The fish were about 60' each side of the ball of bait. Trying to swing around them without breaking up the ball was the hardest part. The ball disappeared about 9 and was a tad more difficult to keep the bite going. My track looks like a spiralgraph drawing.
Them bass are on the 4' line.
I wondered what you had going on over there. i don't like to crowd and running thru something like that will shut em down. Glad you connected.
Nice catch Mike, had to be very hot by 10.
By the time you made your pass through they had already dropped down.Quote:

Yep, this hot weather is killing me too, just sitting in the house gaining more weight.
Had tried to get on diet and be in great shape for this crappie season but things always
come up that blow it ....
Wife sure don't help at all, she wants to keep me pregnant looking and barefoot all the time
so I won't run off etc, etc, etc .........
Have a nice day ............................
Enjoyed being on the Ride Saturday and the fishing was surprising. I would consider it a good sign moving into season. Could do without the aggressive greenies but all in all a good trip.
Left them biting, too busy for the heat to be tolerable.
Shout out to Mike for the insights 👍 It was a pleasure meeting Silvia? ( sorry if that is incorrect, I'm blaming the heat for lack of memory, accuracy. Lol )
Lucky me calls it a day just in time to run into an air boat takeover of the ramp area/ shoreline. THAT was ALOT of airboats!
Came home to nap city......
Heat in all...... Still super for the soul!
My season is so close I can almost smell it.
Another blessed day indeed!
I am sure you would have had no problems figuring them out without my insight. And close enough on spelling to call it good. Pleasure seeing ya again Stu.

The top is nice if there is a breeze. Without a breeze it is still roasting hot. August was hotter but off the beach there is a constant breeze. They make umbrella plates for seats or some good ole redneck engineering on the plumbing isle at Lowes can set you free.
