Avid bank angler making the conversion to kayak & boat fishing. On the hunt for my first ever elusive double digit bass!

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.

I promise not to post anymore creek fishing - bedfish for now (unless it's a new pb). 8lber on today's adventure. Prayed for favor with the fishies and it was answered.

Not a huge fish but definitely the biggest male I've ever seen & caught on a bed. Weighed in at 3lbs 9oz. Thought maybe I was mistaken and caught the female first (which rarely happens for me) but 5 minutes later I caught the female. She weighed in at 5lbs 2oz. Both fish took a 9" Zoom Mag 2 (another 1st for me to catch bedders with a worm).

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.
