It was a cool, calm night fishing a boat launch that had a reed edge and a deep drop off. I was drop shotting a zoom finesse worm in junebug along the Reed edges. When I night fish, I find drop shot works well if you kind of slowly work it back instead of popping it. I cast it out along the edges again and worked it down the drop off, and then I thought I got snagged, but it turned out it was a 6 lb bass, and the fight was on.

The day was a little cool 62 degrees with overcast skies and windy. I was not having too much luck but then spotted bass chasing bluegills around a brush pile. I tied on a vmc spinshot dropshot hook and put a googan baits drag n drop 4" bait in murky minnow on and slowly worked it along the edges of the brush until I got a bite.

It was a sunny, calm day on the water, and I was fishing on a dock. Along the bank, there are some laydowns and submerged vegetation. It was a tough bite that day, so I decided to weightless Texas rig a Zoom magnum trick worm and let it fall in and out of the vegetation. A couple casts in, and I felt the bite and reeled him in.

This body of water is pretty flat with some submerged vegetation. It was 75 degrees outside windy with overcast skies with partially stained water. I spotted some vegetation with a lot of fry swimming around and ran the strike king hybrid hunter over the tops of the grass and this little guy hit it.

I was fishing off a dock in the fall blue skies and calm water. Next to the dock, they had sunk some Christmas trees for structure, and I started ripping a red eye shad lipless around them, and then this guy hit it and gave up a good little fight.

It was Hot day today close to 90 slick calm water with bluebird skies. I was trying to pitch some laydowns but was not successful.I noticed a lot of dragonflies landing on the water and a few blowups, so I tied on the hellraizer and started walking it past the lay downs and about the third cast it got hit hard. I was happy to at least not get skunked today.

It was a nice day with cloudy skies and calm water. I was fishing off a point with a drop-off that had topped out weeds. I worked the tube along the edge of the weed line like a yo yo, and sure enough, this bass smoked it.

The water was fairly calm with bluebird skies and a slight breeze. I noticed some swirling a little ways out in open water and seemed like bass were chasing bluegill. I tied on a yamatunuki and began working it back to the shore then I felt a couple pecks and that's when I set the hook. No big ones today but still fun to catch even the small ones.
