window of opportunity

[JB]

Been fishing and motorcycle riding the last two days, and have more or less been waiting out the bass to turn back on, You can get 3-4 an outing, but ya work for them.
Tonight I was targeting slopes in the lake, going up or down the hill with plastics,
Also was trying the big bearpaw sample that i got, it must weight a ton and I need a 5/0 for sure to penetrate the plastic.
Anyways, the bite was slow, I scaled down to a 2 inch powergrub, nailed a huge crappie and some gills, then had a few small bass.
I was fishing in some real nice windy conditions and after a long lull my window of opportunity opened, they bite like crazy for about 25 minutes, then it died down again...anyone else ever have this happen..its so short a period, I wonder how many anglers have won a tournie just by getting all thier wieght in 1/2 hour feeding frenzie...it makes for a long 7 and 1/2 hour day left to tournie, if ya get them early your pumped all day, it you get them the last hour, yer thakin' god lol
