Fished & fished more for less.

[pig n jig]

Its been cold , windy and raining.Saturday I fished 5 hours without boating a bass, caught a crappie and several pickerel.I keept hopping all over different areas and when I went into a shallow cove protected from the wind I found biting bass.In the next 1 1/2 hrs., I boated 11 bass, biggest weighing 3 lbs.I left soaken wet, shivering cold, but happy. This morning, I went back in the cove and nothing doing, even though I could see the bass cruising around.Again I hopped all over different areas trying to get a bite, I caught a 1.5 lber on a jig in 7 ft of water with chunk rock bottom on it and fished it another hour with nothing. It poured, I was soaken wet and shivering again, picked up and was running back out to the launch as fast as I could in a downpour, a big bass broke the surface to my left in the middle of the lake.I shut the motor down, picked up the zara spook jr and caught 4 good bass in 4 casts.then went 3 more casts and caught another bass.I was positive it was too cold to be fishing a spook jr, I took it to test it, because I switched the split rings and trebles out on it.I spent another hour hopping nearby wind blown points and caught 3 more bass on the spook jr and had 2 other blow ups that didn't hook up.I was fishing a senko all morning as well as a spinnerbait with no results.The weather was so bad, the spook jr didn't work the normal zig zag very well because of the 1-2 ft. white caps, but the fish still hit it ?It goes to show you I have got alot more to learn, I haven't a clue why it worked in those conditions ?
