Bassin

The fishing was slow, the water was low and clear and there wasn't a hint of wind. Fished a black llama clouser deep. Managed a few bass and stuck a pig then long line released her after a nice jump.

Full Moon Bass

Full moon means late night top-water action. Grabbed the five weight and head lamp and hit the local pond. Fished Dahlberg Diving Frog. The fish were hanging right on the edge of the weeds. Saw a shooting star and caught two bass in a little over an hour. Not a bad way to spend an evening.

Lake Emma and Her Surrounding Ponds

Fishing lakes and ponds that are named after great dogs and stocked full of chunky bass and bluegill on a nice spring day is the perfect a way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Throw in some sight casting and top-water action and you have the recipe on "how to ruin a man." The bass and bluegill were cooperating and hit anything that resembled a shad. It was a good day and somehow we avoided all the rain and thunderstorms (until the drive home). Pictured above is Don Hart's nice bass being released by Mr. Ron Gard. Don put on a lesson and fished for 10 minutes and caught about 6 nice bass and then went back to the truck to nap.
