More nice bass on the Zoom trick worm 4-27-10
Went out again today. The wind was very strong out of the North and the air was chilly, about 58 degrees; not the best day for fishing by most accounts. These bass weight about 3 lbs. I didn’t measure them or weigh them so, I’m just guessing. It appears that some bass are now on their beds but most bass, on a day like today with the cold front, would probably not be. I caught these in a small sheltered cove where I usually catch a few bluegill on the fly rod, which I did and a few fairly good crappies as well. After I was sure that there were no more bass interested in the worm I switched to my fly rod with a clouser minnow fly in olive and silver. The fly got me the bluegills and crappie. I did catch a nice crappie in that same area using a Yum craw dad. I used the crawdad to see if I could interest some bass with it but only caught the one crappie. I didn’t have too much time to fish today because I had to pick up my 6 year old. grand daughter, Evie, at the bus stop. But, on the way in I managed to catch a nice drum on that chartruse grub pin spinner. I showed these pictures to my grand daughter and now she wants me to take her with me, (I’ve got a fisher girl in the making). If the weather is good I’ll take her out this weekend.

Hey Jim,
I too, took to the water yesterday. It was the 4th day of about 12MPH wind. I had a spot picked out of the wind..however about 20 more boats has the same idea. No bass,
no sac-a-lait, just a few perch on a 1/32 Beetle spin, white with a red dot. Still have not used my fly rod yet. There were a few guys fly fishing, the first I have seen in a while.
They too, were not having any luck.
Later friend,
Phil
