This is quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to fish. I get up close on any banks with overhangs or grass lines, with quick casts, 8 to 10 feet of retrieve, then a quick reel back and do it again. Accurate casting is key! If you hit your spot, the odds increase so much. The bass are really tucked in tight to the bank. If you can skip under the overhangs, it's even better. (I'm still working on that skill....) Fun Day!

Had a great day on Saturday, Sept 10. Got on the water at about 7:30 am. The temps were finally cooled down after a week of extremely hot weather in Sacramento. I don't think it got over 90 degrees, which beats the heck out of the 115 we've been experiencing. I headed straight for the bank, tied on a Rapala X-Rap Popper and on my third cast, caught the first of about 20 bass over the next 2 1/2 hours. Largest I caught was only 1.5 lbs, but it was a blast watching those fish blow up that top water lure. At about 10 am or so, the bite just seemed to turn off. So after trying a shad swim bait, as well as a Texas rig with various color worms and having little luck, I tied up a trusty Wacky Rig with a green pumpkin/black flake worm and things fired right back up again. I got off the water at about 4pm having caught 35-40 bass. Such a blast having that kind of success out there. I'm still trying to learn how to find and catch the larger bass that I know are out there. But in the meantime, I'll take a day like that any time it happens.
