"What a June!!!"
I got out for a few hours today to try to find a few new spots. I bounced around from 12-2:30 drinking a few beers, listening to the radio and enjoying the day. I caught 7 bass along the way but did not discover anything very interesting. I decided to recharge the bait tank since I had to meet Mom at 4:00PM. Bait was pretty easy today. I stopped at an old spot and fished it a little differently. The fish were suspended, but I made them bite. I caught 33 bass in the next 50 minutes. Unreal. I was pulling them in as fast as a human could. I met Mom right at 4:00PM and we set up on the first spot. UNREAL!!! A fish a cast for over an hour. Mom got a couple of good ones to boot. We used almost all the bait so we decided to go get more about 5:30PM. We could not find bait. That sucked.
We messed around trying to catch bait til 6:45 or so and decided to use the last 40 or so shad in the tank. Boats on the two spots I wanted to fish. We waited and one finally moved. It was 7:15 now and shallow we went. They were not there, but they did break right behind us! We backed out and it was a fish a cast til we ran out of bait. On the bottom, floats, free line...did not matter. The last three fish caught were caught on stone cold dead shad. The last one was caught on a half decomposed shad the second to last bass spit up moments before. UNREAL!!! We left them biting.
