Tried the boat in the bigger pond but no bites so after an hour and a half, I headed back up to the smaller, walk-around pond. 95 degrees F air temps, light breeze, very few clouds and bright sunshine made for a low bite-to-cast ratio for sure.
I tried my usual group of baits including a Chatterbait type bait made by
TC Custom Baits. Tim named them "Southern Shakers". Tried a 1/2 oz all-chartruese one and caught two 1 lbers. Then I switched over to a 3/8 oz, White/chartreuse one and hooked a 6 lber from the eastern bank. Sorry for all the dirt but it's a little tough getting the heavier Bass up the muddy bank. Had a few other bites on that same bait but only hooked those three but I'll take that result from a new bait for 4 hours of Bassin'.
