Roy and I tried our luck at River Bend after a long lay off due to the heat wave.  The weather was great; a nice breeze, actually a little windy some of the time, cloudy skies; we even had some very light sprinkles, temperatures in the low 80’s..perfect.  But, the fishing was very slow compared to what we usually get there.  After trying several different lures, spinner baits, Roy  tied on a small white spinner and caught a nice bass almost immediately.  I quickly changed one of my rods to a similar bait, white/chartreuse, and caught a bluegill.  But, that was about it for the spinner baits.  We tried cranks, worms, creature baits, grubs, and stick worms.   Roy had a grub in a brown color that did well on the bottom near shore Texas rigged,  and I had to resort to the stick worm, a Yum watermelon/ pearl, to catch a few bass.  The score:  Roy 7 and Jim 4 bass.   We had fished for about 5 hours and left early, around 7pm.

The fishing was not great but the fun was.  It’s hard not to have fun when fishing with a good friend.
