This was a day you sometimes read about finding a small stretch holding fish. As I got starter this am, no birds, no bait skipping about, no indicators at all. Made a few cast with lipless, thump, it started. Small bass with an occasional keeper in the crowd. Keepers would be a bit deeper &amp; as aggressive when lure was in front of them.<br /><br />It was a slow drag in 7fow or less, water temp 44, air 29, no wind, water medium stain &amp; pulling current. I was in sheltered area oxbow. Bass were concentrated, would catch every cast bout 3 times, then make 6-8 cast &amp; relocate then it was on again. These were very healthy 2 lbrs with best being 31/2 lb. Best 5 woulda been near 13-14 lb. Not great size, but a lot o fun pulling 30 plus bass from a 75 yard stretch.<br /><br />Left that area looking, &amp; did a lot of looking with little hooking. Last tug started pulling boat, emoDoh , nope not another striper, just a foul hooked catfish and it were p....ed. O well it was a good day, J-Max made an appearance, hope he found a few more........ emoGeezer emoUSA
