Thought I had Something Good Going...
 

I thought I had something good going this morning when the minnows started
busting around the weeds right in front of me. I was flipping the bank and
the water just came alive. I figured some big old bass where driving them
up. I hit that area with every reactionary minnow bait I could think of.
Culprit jerk baits, Kastermasters, Spinner baits. I even wacky rigged a
couple natural shad Senkos up in there.

While I was trying to figure out why nothing had produced a single bite they
started up the opposite bank so I flipped the trolling motor on high and hit
them again. I even threw some shad colored topwaters. Nothing. In the
hour I spent on that section of bank the minnows busted up around the weeds
and tulies atleast a half dozen times.

I was tossing great feeding bass baits right into the active minnows, and
also just off either side of them for quite a while. I didn't even get bit.
Bizarre. Sadly that was the setting for the rest of my day.

I think I might go back early tommorrow with my throw net and see if they do
the same thing. I can't minnow in a tourament, but if bass are chasing them
at all a wounded minnow with a hook through his back should produce a fish
or three.
