I started bass fishing again a little over a week ago. And man i've been having a blast. There is a small 7400 acre lake near my house and i've been going quite a bit. I usually go in the evenings after work. I have been catching fish pretty consistently, but they have been pretty small. But yesterday was the best day yet. I started out by hooking into a nice 2-3 pounder. Unfortunately it spit the hook back out at me. But it felt nice to get something with a little size to it.Then I didn't do much for about an hour. So I headed back for the ramp, as there is some pretty thick stuff right by there that holds some fish. after about a half hour and two war-mouth I suddenly hit a spot that was really active. In about 20 minutes I cought 7 fish and got a bite in almost every cast. :) Yes, I was very happy. I went through a whole bag of worms in that short time span. I think it would have been a great top-water bite but man I was getting short on time and the plastic worms where doing the trick just fine. <br />Anyway, I just thought I would share my little story with yall.

Sounds like a GREAT day of fishing WS. :) <br /><br />Seven fish in 20 minutes IS quite incredible, you should be proud. Good to see you haven't lost your knack.

Yep, youre hooked now more than the Bass. Try and not get into a rut and keep trying new things when there is a good bite. (Good Bite, between sun up and about 9-10 AM, and evening between about 6-9:30 or so). You will find the fishing normally slow in the middle of the day. This will insure that you are a well rounded fisherman. Then there is that first tournament, you wont sleep a wink the night before. :p
