The bass were stacked up in a very small area again today. I fished four areas today, a new point, a new shallow creek channel, a new drop and a deep hole. All were in WT creek. I fished from 11 until 3. Ended up with 16 bass, 5 keepers. Caught one fish at the point, in 4-5 feet of water, one suspended over deep water(the hole), and the rest on the drop. The fish were stacked there and when they quit biting I went back an hour later and caught another 5 in the same spot, about the 40 feet square. Most were caught on crankbaits, one that dives about 10 feet and one that dove 12-14 feet. I did catch one on a spinnerbait after they quit hitting the crankbaits. I also caught one on a bait that only dove about 5 feet. I did try plastics after they quit on the crankbaits with no takers. They really wanted a fast presentation today. The water in the creek was 77 to 78 degrees. The drop that held the fish was on a flat that was 7 feet deep that dropped to 12 to 13 feet. I only got rained on a little. I have a pic but won't get to it until later. Much more productive than last night.
 
sounds like a good day..the crankbait bite seems to be hot right now... might have to get back in the creek havent really fished wolftever in a few years for bass
thanks for the report mark
 
Good report, Mark. I'm sorry that I couldn't go today. Still have the same problem that I spoke to you about. I can't venture very far from the bathroom. emoBang emoBigsmile emoGeezer
 
Good job Mark, you are relentless about figuring out the fish, be it crappie, bass, cats, or whatever. I even went out and bought some "bass stuff" today, lol. You have ruined me. emoLaugh Thanks for the report, I enjoyed our class the other day. The crappies are still number one though.

Regards, Labman
 
Thanks for the report. I did pretty good on a crankbait yesterday, but pretty much got shut out today for some reason. Guess I wasn't holding my mouth right!! emoScratch Partner skunked me real good today on plastics about everywhere we went.
 
Oh, I forgot something, the fish were so stacked and aggressive in the area that I hit today that on my first cast I caught two bass on the same lure, one on each treble hook. I have never caught two fish on a lure before. I have caught two fish on a two hook rig with live bait at times but never on a crankbait. When that happened I knew that I was onto something good! It seems that the fish are really in transition now but I am hoping to find at least a couple of spots where I can consistently catch a few at least for a few weeks.
