😀 Last year I did fish more in the rain and I agree the fish were more active at times. I would be interested in the deep dive on springtime rains and wind. 

Ref the seeing bass it was with my eyesight in clear water in 4 feet are less at the back of a cove. At one time I saw 8 largemouth bass darting around from a dock to shallow water. Used the plastic minnow, craw style plastic and stick worm. Warm side of Lake Anna with 64 degree water temperature. I’m sure the bass saw my partners boat and us trying to catch them. Later tried to cast in back of other coves before they saw us but no luck. We caught bass in the morning but none big enough after 12pm. 

Preach the Gospel BLat!

Seeing fish swimming around and not being able to get them to bite. 

Dealing with the rain and wind. 

Recreational boaters, kayaks, standup boards and spot fishing anglers that swoop in and then leave after 10 casts. 

nice tip. Thank you for sharing. 

Nice one!

Fished a lake I only go to once a year so it was hard to get oriented. I didn’t get to  research the maps ahead of time. 

We had success in catching the bucks but no females. We needed larger fish but never located any. 

I learned that there are fish on those do nothing banks during the pre spawn. Caught them on a wacky rigged worm. 

Next week I need to be more confident and more patience. 

Excellent. Thank you

Excellent work

Update-  just finished 17th out of 23 anglers in my club tournament. Caught fish on 13 fishing magic man lipless crankbait and a weightless wacky rig worm. 😀. Let’s go!
