Night fishing // Fast fishing

[softwateronly]

I got out Wednesday night for 3.5hrs and got about 20 bass, most in the 2-3lb range.  What was new to me, was how.  I started with a spinnerbait, chatterbait, and magnum trick worm.  I got a few slow rolling the spinnerbait.  The water is up 18" in the last 5 days from storms and clarity has dropped down to 3-4' from 6-8'.  Somewhere around 2:30 the clouds rolled in and I decided to tie on a swim jig.  I went back through the same water, and I started catching on every/every other cast.  I also noticed that I started fishing faster at least twice as fast as I was before.  I guess this is a reminder to not be like me and take 2.5hrs before you try something without blades and moving fast at night in relatively high and murky water.
