Bass
Fishing Report; Lake Ripley; May 20, 2007 Conditions: Rain, Overcast, 55 deg air, 62 deg water
I
knew I had discovered the right area this morning when I bent over to
grab my rain coat for protection from the rain that had just started.
When I stood up, two bass were swimming with a jerkbait in their mouth
about 10 yards from the boat. I reeled in my lure and took the pair of
fish off. For the next 10 consecutive casts, I landed a fish. After the
bite started to taper, I picked up a texas-rigged Gambler Ace and caught
my biggest fish of the day. The corner was a sharper drop, with the boat
sitting in 20 feet of water and weeds in 8-10 feet. Varying the retrieve
cadence seemed to trigger inactive fish. Fishing
was pretty slow other than that weedline turn. A few bass were found
elsewhere, but very scattered. I experimented with colors and types of
jerkbaits, but a smaller size seemed to out-produce a larger size. Jerkbait
