Bob, you said: "I got 5 or 6 strikes on a white buzz bait, and put a couple
in the boat.
The biggest was about 2 pounds. As the light level dropped the buzz bait
bite died."

Next time out, go to a black buzzbait. As long as a fish is underwater,
everything it sees above it is contrasted against the sky, which means a
lighter colored lure is basically invisible silhoutted against a lighter
colored sky. Slow moving black buzzbaits are deadly at night!

Matt Yates and I decided to do a little fun fishing for a couple hours
this
evening. We took the Wacko out to a spot I had showed him the other day
and
pushed the boat off the trailer. Literally. The water wasn't deep enough
to get all the bunk boards wet.

We tried one area of rip rap and I caught a little bass on a Natural Shad
Senko right after I said something like, "If I was cocky I'ld try to make
you a bet about catching the first fish."

We got a couple really tentative bumps in that area, and ten we decided to
try and find some natrual cover.

I got 5 or 6 strikes on a white buzz bait, and put a couple in the boat.
The biggest was about 2 pounds. As the light level dropped the buzz bait
bite died. All those buzz bait strikes were in about a foot of water.

Matt tossed a Baby Bass Senko over to an area where an over hang of brush
met a lay down of tulies and nailed a good solid 4.5 pounder. Woo hoo. I
tossed to the other end of the overhand where it met some other tulies
that
were leaning over into the water and nailed one close to 5.5 on a green
pumpkin with chartreuse tail Tiki stick.

I picked up two more bass on the Tiki Stick in another littel overhang
area
and then we decided to head in.

The water dropped about 5 inches while we were fishing so I had to get out
and drag the boat over a few really shallow spots to get back to where we
launched. The bunk boards on the trailer were 3 inches out of the water
when we back the trailer in to the deepest spot. Oops.

Nah, I just lined up the Whacko and pushed it half way up on the trailer,
then we cranked it on the rest of the way.

I forgot my camera guys. I actually took it out of the big boat and then
I
left it sitting on the deck. Oh, well. Next time.
