The last week has been really hot. Numbers are high and the big fish are on the prowl. Crankbaits,spoons,swimbaits, are the main deal for me and the clients. Yesterday I have to say was one of the funnest days I have had. I fished with a 10 and 12 year old who just wanted to catch fish. We probably caught a 100 little stripe and 40 bass by 12:30. The best bass was about 7 lbs. One of the boys caught about 20 lbs himself and both set a new record for their biggest fish. You should have seen the look on their faces when a school of them came up that was about 50 yards around and stayed up for an hour or so. Most of the schooling fish were bass. You could see them come up and it looked like slow motion as they chased the shad around by the boat. It looked like the were nipping at the tail and then they would inhale the shad.
The big schools are in 15 to 22 feet of water and wind or current is a big factor. Without it things can come to a halt and you wouldn't think there was a fish around. There is also a good worm bite going on in the grass. Most days we stay chasing the schools though.
Things are on and if you have some kids now is the time to get them out. Lots of action for them.
I have some days open so book you date now.
