The story..

We went to a carry on jon boat lake only..another reason I like jon boats..I'd been here 3 other times and caught no bass...plenty of catfish but no bass..A friend of my son told him that they were hitting her off the shore in about 6-8 foot of water..
So we went out from the shoreline...and threw worms to the shore..and worked them back to the boat...After about 45 minutes I felt a pick up...ready ..set 2 1/2 pounder in the boat..as we wroked some more I saw a boil on the shoreline..ah ha...spawner..I cast and missed the mark..Matt cast and hit the mark.BAM!!! nice 4 pounder..the I remembered a smaller pit connected to this tiny lake..The WIND was terrible...we went to the end of the pit and had the wind blow us as we quickly tried to get off cast..then I hear "Dad!" "Net"..I looked and saw one huge ugly bass...eyes bulging out..a good 7-8 pounder..at least..the fish was 6 inches beside the boat..the net was wrapped up in one of the spare rods..In frustration I hear."DARN!! where was the net? She's gone."

I then decided to change my tactic..I went to a green /brown 3/16th ounce jigs..Matt smirks as he has no faith in the silly looking lure..Dang...missed one..Matt cast into the slop..with his 7 inch worm..low and behold...a 5 pounder comes to the top and inhales his Christmas Tree Worm..he works it to the boat..nice fish...Meanwhile I'm dropping the jig in every little dark hole possilble..in THICK grass...ting.ting..BAM!! Whoa..nice fish...I'm hung up on a 6 pounder.in thick grass..netted her in..

Pit is done..I say...let's flip her again..I go where Matt had lost his..sling my jig in there...oh crap...ting ting...ripppppp..Could not fully set her..She was too heavy...She is now pulling the front of the boat over and touching the lake..slack,,,,she is unbottoned..

20 yds up farther..Matt had decided to put a much heavier bullet sinker on to penetrate the grass...WAMM! a nother big Hawg...and unbottoned..on the way back I see a tiny black pool way beyond the grass...for the fun of it..I make a long cast...rippp...unbottoned...

WE will be back tomorrow God willing.
