Texas. A cold front and rain blew in last Friday and knocked the water temps down. However, temps are bouncing back rapidly (high of 90° today). This cold to rapid warm up has triggered some last minute spawners.

Welcome to the family Phillip!

🤣

I keep the ultralight in the truck just for those times when the bass aren't biting (or the crappie school up at my local puddle, but that's another story) . On a few occasions that drastic down size in baits has shown me the bass are biting. It's just they are keyed in on tiny forage. Same baits I'm catching bluegill & crappie have produced 2-4lb bass at the same time.

I always have to make a mental note to dispose of the baggy ASAP.

Congrats!

Congrats on the PB!

Happy Birthday!

Definitely know the feeling. Had those days crappie were hitting chatterbaits, jerkbaits, dropshot, etc. As soon as I intentionally fish for crappie the bass suddenly want to wear out my ultralight.

Brian Latimer to find them mostly. No electronics when fishing from the bank. But if they get hooked it's a win win. I've noticed a lot of bass are lurking outside the beds (especially the females). Trying to think outside the traditional and save time wasted on empty beds.
