This is my 'good fishing story' for the year. As most of you know, the wife and I moved back to Texas this spring. I've been working quite a bit, and also trying to get my boat/dock/lift ready most of the summer. That's all fine now. Boat is on the lift; lift works well; and I've even put new line on all my reels and started rigging up different poles/combo's getting ready to start fishing again. Fished a little bit this past weekend.
A large front came through last night, so around 5PM, I decided to go down and see maybe if the bass were trying to put on the feedbag, prior to the front blowing through. Took a bandit 100 (pearl/chart); worm and a jig with me.
No signs of anything feeding at all, except one 'swirl' near the left side of my dock.
Switched to the right side, and lo and behold . . . . .
The LM and White Bass had a school surrounded between my dock and my neighbors. Caught 10-12 LM and about 4-5 White bass, in about 20-30 minutes. Went up and got my wife, brought her down and she had 3-4 herself, before the action finally subsided.
While a few hit a rattle-trap, they were devouring that pearl/chart bandit. On one cast, I had two LM both on the front treble of the bandit. Those were determined fish.
What a great time.
