70, BRIGHT SUNNY DAY . CLEAR SKIES, VERY LITTLE WIND .

I'VE BEEN FISHING THE ROAD SIDE OF THE POND FOR THE PAST FEW MORNINGS AND AFTERNOONS WHERE I SAW SOME NICE SIZE BASS ON BEDS . THERE WAS ABOUT 6-7 OF THEM . I COULD NOT GET THEM TO BITE THE FIRST DAY WITH A SENKO AND THE RELIABLE DROPSHOT . I TRIED SLOW ROLLING A SPINNERBAIT AND NOTHING . THE WEATHER ON THE FIRST TWO DAYS WAS PRETTY DARN COLD IN THE EARLY MORNING . THE SECOND DAY I GOT A FEW BITES ON A BOOYAH JIG ( GRN/PMKN/ WITH WTRMNL FLAKE ) AND A ZOOM SUPER SPEED CRAW ( SAME COLOR AS JIG ) . I COULD NOT HOOK-EM . THEY WERE SPITTING THEM OUT FAST . TODAY, ON THE THIRD DAY I WAITED FOR THE AFTERNOON KNOWING THE WEATHER WAS GOING TO BE LOVELY AND THE WATER ALOT WARMER BEING THAT THEY WERE ONLY IN ABOUT 1-2 FEET OF WATER, I CONTINUED TO USE THE JIG AND CRAW AND I FINALLY GOT -EM TO BITE . I ONLY GOT TWO, BUT I WAS LIMITED ON TIME . I HAD ABOUT 1 1/2 HOURS TO FISH . THE FIRST WAS ABOUT 2 1/2-3 LBS AND THE SECOND ABOUT 3 1/2- 4 LBS . THE SECOND I USED THE SAME JIG ONLY I USED A POWERBAIT POWERWORM ( GRN/PMKN WITH A CHARTRUES TAIL ) AS MY TRAILOR . MY TACKLE WAS A 6'6" MED/HVY BAITCASTING ROD . BRAIDED LINE ( SPIDERWIRE 12LB TEST ) NOT HEAVY LINE BUT STRONG ENOUGH TO GET THEM OUT OF A LITTLE BUSH THAT WAS THERE .
