February 23, 2007 - Day three on the bass search. Today my good friend, Capt. Joe Bush and I headed for one of my favorite bass fishing areas. The fog delayed our arrival time 10 or 15 minutes but it didn`t slow the bite any. Probably one of the better trips I`ve had in the last couple of years, considering the size of the fish . Spinner baits in white/char. once again was the bait of the day. Working the grass line and holes in the grass produced over 25 bass by 8 am and believe it or not we left them bitting to look for a few specks, which we found shortly after. Here are some awesome pictures of today's catch. Conditions: as good as it gets. Bait: spinner baits for the bass, black/char cocahoe`s on a 1/4 oz jig head for the specks.

 

February 22, 2007 - Day two on the bass search. Different location today and even with the front Henery Bourgeois and I produced a fine catch of bass, once again no fish under 14 inches. Conditions: sunny and mild with high pressure moving in. Bait: all fish once again were caught on spinner baits. Capt. Joe and I will be out searching for them again tomorrow. If you would like to book a bass trip the next couple of weeks will be the time. See you on the water. Capt. E.J.

February 17, 2007 - Another cold day on the water. I just can`t wait to start sweating and say goodbye to winter. Capt. Mike fished the Mike Cox group from South Carolina and I had the Greenberg party from Ohio. Here are a few pictures from today's catch just keeping enough for dinner. All fished were caught on curly tail grubs tipped with shrimp.

 

February 16, 2007 - Deer hunting season is over and today was about as tough as it gets to start fishing again. Capt. Joe and I had the pleasure of fishing some guys from Illinois, Jacob, Bruce, Ben, Nathan, Gordon, Ed and Jayson. They have been here since Katrina doing repair work on the north shore. Today was the coldest day I`ve spent on the water this year and a 40 minute boat ride didn`t help. The few fish we caught were nice, just couldn't find any numbers. Bait: grubs and cocahoe`s blk/char, slow on the bottom. Conditions: COOOOLD, very low and muddy water. Out again tomorrow, I can't wait.
