Jmax, Chick, Bass, 06/18/09, solo, 1st hour skunked, 2nd hour hit the mother load. - FishNews - 06-19-2009
Went out this evening for a couple hours. I was kind of scouting for this weekend. After reading the frog grass post we had on here I headed for some grass pockets. I don&#39;t know what I was doing wrong but I stunk it up. Not a bite, notta, not even a smell....zeroed. I tried for an hour and decided that was not for me.<br /><br />I headed out to what I do best this time of year. Legdes and edges on the ol&#39;river channel. Where I wanted to start as I got close I realized there was a boat right on top of it.
I swung off of it and headed for the first drop I saw on my depth finder. I hit an underwater rock pile I have never fished before and saw fish all over it. Stopped, got out the drop shot and preceeded to get about 20 hits in a row. emoEek I either missed one, lost one or caught one for the first 20 casts. emoWorthy They were stacked there. I am not sure who that was on the spot I wanted to go to but if I knew I would thank them. emoBig
I caught about 25 to 30 bass there in an hour. emoToast The top of the drop was 23 feet and the bottom was 38 feet that I was fishing. Cast up on the 23 and shake the drop shot down to the 38. Most strikes I did not feel, they would just load up on it. I had to leave so only got in the two hours. emoThumbsup <br /><br />Lot of fun that one hour after getting skunked the first one. In the grass the temp was 87 and on the river it was 83. Lots of current also that could have helped in the bite.<br /><br />C-ya on the water. emoAngler Jmax
