Hit the local lake yesterday, trying to target some bass. Weather was a mix of sun and clouds, and the water was surprisingly clear. I was using a couple of different baits — started with a green pumpkin jig, then switched to a spinnerbait when things got slow. Ended up landing three decent-sized bass but lost a good one right at the boat. Made the rookie mistake of not having my net ready. Overall, not a bad day on the water, solo trip, but I wish I had brought my buddy along; he always manages to hook the biggest ones. How are the fish biting in your area?
