Comments:

I was on the search for new bass spots tonight, and diligence was the word. I covered a lot of water and found fish in one spot. The fish do not seem to be scattered, so when you catch one usually many more are waiting for their chance to do battle. I had just about given up tonight, but then I reminded myself of all the other times I was about ready to give up but continued on and did real well. At the particular spot I caught the fish it was a current break separating two different sources of water. The fish tipped me off to their location when one fell to my swim bait. I could not coax another fish to bite until I changed to a Senko, then it was bass in the hand time. The fish were very aggressive to the subtle action of the Senko, and unfortunately I lost about as many as I caught.

Observations:

The water is once again on the rise!
