Ranger521 invited me to go to Bastrop this cold Sunday morning. Arrived at North Shore ramp to find a full parking lot of boat trailers. Launched at 8am....I started hooking up on bass on lipless cranks, but most of them were small bass.1-2lbers. Then Bill hooked into a 3.5lb bass on red-lipless crank in 8 feet of water, near timber.
Fished all over the lake and ended at 2pm....Only caught and released 7 bass...had several come un-buttoned at boat...
Lures of choice were lipless and carolina rigs. Had some good hits, but no hookups.
Heard there was a couple bass club tournaments out there. One fisherman reported good discharge action in early morning. Also heard of a good stringer (Paper tournament) coming on ribbet frogs in grass, early morning, too..
Might have to try again, in about a week.
Air temp was 49 degrees....water temp range from 58 to 61 degrees. 5-10 mph Northerly winds.
I think there is a very shallow bite, in the reeds!
