fished for a few hours today. i was throwing a cultiva rippin' minnow by the dock and had 5-10 bass follow it up during the 5 casts i took before i got kicked out of that spot. on two of those casts, a bass came up and just touched the back treble with his nose. unfortunatly, i couldnt get bit on that bait so i switched to a dropshotted lip ripper (3" trout worm) in chartuese and managed to get 3 bass. i also farmed a few fish in the 2 pound range while split shotting the same Lip Ripperz. The fishing seems to be hot right now. A couple of bass were chasing bluegills but most of the bass were searching for crawdads instead. I wasnt looking for bedding fish but i did see one.
