Catching any Bass over 2/10 has eluded me for the last several weeks. Fished 4 different ponds, a 600 acre lake, and a couple of hours on the Ocmulgee River over those weeks and nothing over a 2/10.
Went back to my former boss's walk-around pond this afternoon with Bluebird skies, clear water, temps in the mid-80s, and wind gusts up to 20 mph. After about a half hour, I felt the thump of a bite on a bait Randall(Lake Varner guide) had shown to me a few weeks ago. It's a 1/8 oz Shakey Head jig and a Zoom Trick Worm. Now, I know most of ya'll have been using these for months if not years but they are new to me.
That thump was a 5 lb, 15 oz, 23" Bass. Felt pretty darn good getting her to the bank with BPS's 8 lb fluro.

Thanks again Randall for the tip!
