Four days of rain, two additional days of 60 degree temperatures, and where did all the bass go? Well if I had a boat I could tell you. But here at the pond, they just moved one canal south. I got to the Spring Harbour pond around 9:30am this morning and I didn’t get a bite for at least an hour. I tried all my favorite colors and baits, with no luck .

I moved one more canal to the south and it was on! I was throwing a 5/8″ CAMO colored Flick Shake worm, but Texas rigged, not with the Jackall wacky jig head. I immediately caught two smaller bass, but I seemed to have found them. You know what the say, “Where there are small bass, there are big bass.”

Eventually I switched back to the Zoom Junebug G tail, and hooked an incredible fighter. She dug deep in the weeds, and moved left to right aggresivly in 5′ sprints. I was very cautious with this bass because I new she had some weight to her. The funny thing is, right across the canal an entire family was outside feeding geese, and saw me catch this fish! They must have thought I was a nut.

I fish Lake Okeechobee tomorrow. This will be my first official tournament as an amateur with the Lake Worth Boynton Beach Bassmasters. I will do my best, I can promise you that.
