The eagle flys on Friday

All kidding aside, I was somewhat frustrated "looking" for bass on my home
lake earlier this summer. Being a devotee of Rich Z's book, I tried to think
like a bass, not the master of a tackle box. Sure enough, as I was looking
out over the lake I saw an eagle swoop down and pluck a small bait fish out
of the water. A few minutes later I was casting a floating rapala in the
vicinity of where the eagle grabbed his meal. It wasn't long until I had a
nice fat bass in the live well.

Sometimes it pays to step back and re-think your approach towards finding
fish.

That is one of the best examples of being aware of nature and your
surroundings. Rick Clunn lives by this , and has been very successful
because of it.
Great story!

I do the same thing. I look for where the sea gulls are picking up bait
fish and start casting there. It does work.

....hopefully to be released later.

Nice job Richard, very observant of you. One tiny ripple on the opposite
side of a flat led me to one of the best days I've ever had here in PA,
about 50 good keepers including my first "double".

Pays to be observant.

I never keep bass, however I keep trout occasionally if the situation
warrants. For example, we kept trout during a backpacking trip this past
summer in the Wind River Range in Wyoming.

BTW- Since you are a local Warren, the lake was Manor Lake in Tulleytown.
The eagle grabbed his meal off of the stump flats. I was working a white
spinnerbait along the far shore by the creek outlet when I saw him.

That's quite a coincidence Richard buddy - remember that great day I was
talking about?

Yup, Manor Lake.

I believe it was on the same flat Richard speaks of too. October or
November in fact. Never moved the boat, fish were 2-3 pounds apiece. They
were EATING my 1/2 oz chrome/blue rattletrap.

I remember earlier this year seeing some baitfish busting and tossing senkos
and soft jerkbaits into the mix only to reel it back in without a bite. I
switched to SW spinnerbait and caught 12 keepers in about 20 minutes. Felt
like I could have won the classic.. didn't want it to end
