8 bass this morning on a smorgasbord of baits

[Bubba 460]

8:00 AM~ On the water late. Following the shoreline, picking targets and casting in two to six feet of water. First big strike on the Whopper Plopper 130 five minutes into fishing.  Big bass right at the bow of the boat just as I lifted the WP out of the water ~WHAM!... face and shirt wet, scared the snot out of me~ Okay, I'm awake now. About a hundred yards further an 18" bass smacks the Whopper Plopper ~ net'em, click'em, one down.  Move into a new area of very shallow grass with deep drop-off on the edge, switch to the 6" floating Bull Shad and work the edge.  BAM! Another 18" bass kicks water into the air, braid sings, a couple of jumps and it's over... two down. Next one is a dink, three down. Start working a log jammed shore line with bait fish breaking, switch to a five inch slow sinking swim bait. Second cast I lay into a three pounder, they can sure fight above their pay-grade at that weight! # four.

 

As the sun comes up I lost my shaded shoreline so crossed over to the other side of the lake to fish some deeper water. Pick up a rod with a red 10" Texas rigged worm with pegged nose weight. Couple of bass pick up but I miss them on the swing. Then land another 18" bass on the worm Change out worm and a couple casts later my best fish of the day, a  21.5" bass~ YES!.. Now we're talking. Come into a large flat with grass averaging about 5 feet deep.  Switch to a spinnerbait and finish out the day with a few more bass.
