Another snow flurry catch.
A little bed fishing during club tournament. Air temp 45 water temp 57. Lure sitting in the bed is what?
From a tournament on May 3rd. Do Bass spawn when it is snowing out? Well here I catch one on a bed. While it was snowing out. I got 3rd place.
Went to a new lake today, It is close in size and structure to the one I will be fishing this weekend so sort of a Pre Fish. Lake Blue Cypress is likely the prettiest lake in Florida. Fished for about 4 hours, found a lot that did not work, They would not touch a shaky head or Carolina rig. Went to an old standby, EZ Swimmer (Actually a Bitters Naked Swimmer, but same idea), rigged Texas weightless and retrieve so it stays on the surface and also letting it drop in openings in the grass. Ended with 3 scorable bass, total weight 7.63. I am sure Mack would feel right at home on this lake, Surrounded by Cypress trees, and Gators big enough to eat his Kayak.
2nd Place in Club tournament this weekend. 35 and rain to start the tournament, rained all day and we made it to 45. Super slow tough day and I manage to pull out 2nd. Weights were not high. A lunker 6 lb 6oz largemouth was caught but he only had one fish.
Since the SUF Retreat I’ve fished the Shaky Head almost exclusively and I have come to appreciate how good it works.
First fish caught at 6:47 this morning, 2nd pic is the same fish caught 20 yards north at 6:55, I know it is the same fish because it was still bleeding on the right side, the hook stuck one of her gills the first time I caught her, So much for fish that get caught do not eat for a day or 2.
