Made a trip to the Chick this morning with my Ladies kiddos to try their hands at some bass fishing. The water was down to start the day and the bait was hard to find but we got enough to give her a go for round #1. We started off a little rough with them slinging shad off the hook 3/4 the way across the river, hooking them too far back, and killing them within a minute or two emoDoh but after massacring the first cooler of bait I got them in the groove. On bait run #2 the water came up, the bait appeared, and the boys were learned and we hammered them!!! I mean fish after fish after fish, then someone turned off the switch..... LOL!!! But it didn't matter they both landed their PB largemouths and and Brandon his best smallie. I managed to get me a couple nice LM in the mix of it all too!!! We made another run and tried up top with nada and headed on to the hand fishing arena and didn't manage to find but 1 and she flew the coop before we could get a grip on her!! emoScratch I think they are already about done doing the thing they do....emoBawl All in all we had an awesome day and they are still bubbling over their trip, so I am 110% satisfied!!! Shad were located where the walkway starts to curve towards the dam about 6 feet out.
