Midweek outing

[3dkicker]

The Major called me last minute and wanted to know if I wanted to get out and fish yesterdays club tournament......Duh?

Rain was in the forecast (since it's rained on 20 days so far this month it was a given) so we figured it would be a great topwater day. And of course the rain did fall throughout the day and the topwater bite was nowhere to be found ......until the tide turned .

As the water levels dropped the bass started chasing the RC Wake and Buzzbaits. We both had many blow ups and I had a couple shake off coming to the boat. It was a fun "golden hour" as Capt. Mike calls it and then the topwater bite disappeared.

I switched to a chatterbait and culled a couple fish and finished 3rd with 11.4lbs. I was happy since I had missed a some good fish during the day.

Here's a pic of some of the skinny water we worked back to. Capt. Mike's push pole was needed to go further back. And another pic of one bass that didn't make the ride back to the scales. Caught it right off the drop next to the little cut in the grass just above it's eye. Classic tidal river spot.
