I kind of figured that! I have done pretty good in the timbers as well especially during the summer!

Steve do you still fish a drop shot rig in the timber? If they move there and that is where I have to go after them, Im going to have to buy a lot more hooks and drop shot weights in the boat. Haha. I lost four yesterday to those pesky bass breaking me off.

Tom...Yes I do, and I lose a lose a lot of hooks & weights as well. Had a pretty big bass break me off at the deep rocks this week also...

Darn those bass!

Dad blame Ditch Pickles.

Hello Steve, it was me that said "Hi" at the ramp. Thanks to you, my son and I have had a great year on the bluegill.

But this trip I had decided to chase some bass. Went to my early morning spots and caught a few 18" bass. When I was tired of losing expensive crankbaits to the rocks at my first spot, I went over by the intake. Only one bass over there so I decided to break out the gulp and see what the bluegill were doing. The bite was good, as I was catching a fish or getting a bite about every cast on the gulp alive. But as you noted, not as many large ones as normal. I did catch one Rio there. It was small but the first one of the year. After about 15 minutes I decided to head back to some more of my bass areas.

I only fished until about 9:00. Needed to get back online for work.

Thanks for your report and another awesome video.

Alan...ok...now I remember. You are the lucky dog that lives 5 minutes from the ramp at Fayette ! Glad to here that you and your son are having a good year. The rios that I have caught there have all been on those deeper rocks leading in to the intake. The thing is, you never know what you will catch off those rocks. This week I had a pretty big bass break me off in those rocks & also caught that nice catfish there...all on the gulps...
