| Fishing Notes |
|---|
Today Wayne and I were mostly searching for bedding bass in the backs of coves and small pockets as we prepare for a tournament on Sunday. We did stop to fish a few of the beds that we found and I simply watched in amazement as Wayne would work a bed for any where from 5 – 15 minutes before the bass would bite. Wayne has got to be one of the very best bed fisherman on this lake. Of the 8 or so beds that we stopped to fish, Wayne eventually got 5 of the bass to bite, all keepers. In reality we probably fished only about 2 hours while the rest of the time was spent searching for bedding bass. While there were not as many bedding bass as we hoped to find, there are several locked on beds and catchable with a lot of patience. |
