Hi guys, this is my first report on the site. I appreciate everyone's reports on the site and I want to start giving back as well, good report or bad.
This report is a good one though :D
My dad, brother and I headed out early, made bait in one throw and off we went. Headed south to no avail. Decided to head back up north and tried a few spots. Managed to snag and drop one 15 lb bass in the middle of a nice bait school. Once the boats noticed the school, unfortunately the fish dissipated. At this point, quite some time has passed, We decided to troll around to try to locate the fish, and after about 15 minutes with the spoons we had on a double header of nice bass after turning a few blues away previously. Now we found the fish and switched to livelining after trolling to locate em.
From then on it was game on. The fish held tight so we kept to our drift. Bass exploding on bait will ALWAYS be a heart-pounding sight. We managed to play catch and release for about an hour and a half on livies. We ended up running out of bait so we decided to call it a day. We ended up with 10 keeper-size fish (ORL) to 32 lbs. we kept well less than our limit.
Today was a true blitz for us, something that we don't get to experience as often as the pros out there do. I was really glad to see my dad and brother experiencing the euphoria that these striped ones can provide for us. Great day out on the water.
