Fish what you are given!

Post by toddmc » Sun Apr 11, 2021 10:35 am

My two boys and I were given nice serene conditions for the first few hours of the afternoon. Perfect for bed fishing. Every bed seemed to have willing 4-6 pound fish ready to eat. One bed even had three willing fish over 4 pounds. Yes, I have dialed in my bait selection on my home lake, but when multiple butterballs on a bed are eating on the first few casts you have to bow to the bass gods! :D
We went to work with the reaction baits as the wind picked up in the afternoon. That bite was just as impressive. We could have just as easily continued to force the bed bite in windy conditions because we were having so much success, but it is so much more rewarding to prove that you aren't a one trick pony!

Nice fish! Those memories will stay with you long after they are grown and gone.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.
