Ken, my guess is that you intercepted those bass that day along one of their
seasonal migration routes. Bass make mass exodus' from certain areas of our
waters, in the spring & fall. Some cover can be used long-term as a staging
area, and other types can be used by alot of fish for a very short time -
like your "honey hole". It's quite possible that your spot may indeed load
up twice a year, but for as little as a day or two. Expanding on the
migration route theory can really stretch your early & late season success.

Hi all--
I was just thinking about the up coming season and a puzzle that I've
wondered about for 3 years.
Three yrs ago I found a spot [honey hole] that made me think I'd died and
gone to heaven.In the space of a couple of hours I must have caught
thirty bass.Most were 12 -15 inches but a few larger ones also .Like all
anglers I go back every time I pass it and have never caught more than a
couple of dinks . My graph shows a ton of fish holding in the area but
they just won't work with me.The hole is a oak tree that has fallen in 12
ft [trunk] and the limbs are hanging over a 20 ft+ sheer drop off . What
success I've had has been with a watermelon 4 in senko wacky rigged but
I've tried just about every thing. It was late September when I found
it. I have found several other place similar to the first hole and they
all hold fish but are hard to catch.Again I've tried just about
everything I know to try .What do I try next??
Thanks for your time

By the way ,I've never tried DS ing
