A Slow Night

[Fin Stalker]

I like to get on the water just before sunset to feel my way around and see what the bite is going to be like. I was happy to find that they are starting to blast toads which makes me happy. Anyways I got to the area I wanted to fish and hooked up with one about a pound and had another come unbuttoned both on a toad. I made my way over to talk to a friend who happened to be there and lost another on a swim jig.   We were watching them bust the surface about 200 yards from us so we eased that direction and got no love. He had to take off but just as he was leaving I stuck this fish on a Chatterbait.

 

 

 

I beat around for another couple hrs and picked up two or three more dinks then on my way towards the launch I stuck this girl on a toad.

Nice Bass - She's looking pretty Post-Spawn right there . . . .

 

Great time of year to be on the lake after dark.

I've been seeing quite a few skinny girls lately. The spawn is definitely over down this way.

Is that what you call a slow night??

[Fin Stalker]

HAHA. Yeah actually I do. If the air and water conditions seem right and the bite has been consistent for a period of time, I fully expect to get bites. So when I hit this place and I fish for five solid hrs and only get 5-7 bites I think it's slow. Please don't misunderstand me, I don't want this to come out wrong and sound cocky or arrogant it's just that I have spent a ton of hrs on this place and I know it pretty well and I still get skunked there but when the bite is on it's on and this place can produce some big fish. 

The other part of it is psychological, you have to expect to catch fish to catch fish.....
