Dang These Bass Are Biting!

Tide: Incoming

Nancy and I decided to enjoy the nice weather and go back up to Crooked River and duplicate our last trip to this beautiful stretch of river.

We weren't disappointed as the newly tuned up NAN was a bass catching tin boat again.

We caught the fish on spinnerbaits and a lightly weighted fluke.

The fish were more concentrated near creek mouths this time instead of the weed patches on the main river.

These two came aboard on the spinner baits where I pitched it up just inside the current at the mouth of a couple of small feeder creeks.

It started a little slow, but I had one last cigar from my collection and after I lit it up the fish lit up.  It turned out to be another five fish cigar.

We were going to try some topwater rat fishing on the grass and moss, but Doug had borrowed my only rat when we went to the Big O and hasn't returned it yet.  It was last seen in the home we rented.

We only saw one other boat all afternoon and he was cruising down the river and not fishing.

What a nice afternoon and fishery!
