Caught four bass off of the dock last night, primarily on a drop shot rig (purchased entirely at Omnia Fishing btw). G Loomis NRX+ has incredible sensitivity. Luxury buy to be sure, but worth every penny so far. Truly feel every pebble and stick on retrieve. Shimano Exsence reel is very light yet has no problem landing fish. Best bait was a Roboworm 4.5” Straight Tail Worm in Margarita Mutilator. Did catch one bass on a 3” Strike King 6XD in Sexy Shad. Craziest part was comfortably fishing in a T-Shirt at night in late December!

Finally took delivery of the new boat and got back on Lake Tillery this week. Caught several smaller bass (nothing over 1.25 lbs) chasing baitfish in what was clear, shallow water (depths of 2' to 5') under very sunny skies. Air temps were near 80 degrees, water temps were in the low 70's. Had some success both around isolated laydowns in coves (larger baitfish, so the 3.8" shad on an underspin worked well) and up creeks (downsized to 2.8" with smaller shad here). Bites all came either bouncing off the laydowns or dragging the bottom with a moderate retrieve.
