The bass were up shallow again with some bigger fish deep in the cover. The weather was foggy in the<BR> morning and really hot in the afternoon. The water was really clear and warming up and the bass are getting<BR> more active. Most of the fish were really skittish and ran away from our lures. I caught three bass on a little<BR> spoon. It was called a wee kamlooper. It's a gold metal spoon with red and white. The key to most of the<BR> bass sitting on the nests or on the bottom was to use a really small, subtle lure such as a little spoon, jig,<BR> spinner or even a kastmaster. And just drag it across the bottom right in front of the bass really slowly,<BR> stopping frequently. The lure should be stopped more than moving. The action of the lure doesn't matter<BR> much because it will just be dragging along the bottom. Wait for the bass to pick it off the bottom and have<BR> it in it's mouth. I set the hook prematurely like five times. I also caught a little bass on a spinner bait after<BR> lunch. Nick caught two bass without breaking his rod, (see the may 2 report for details on that) one on a<BR> kastmaster and one on a spinner. The biggest fish between us was caught by me and it was only about 2<BR> pounds so wasn't an epic day, but it was fun watching the bass suck up the lures in the clear water. There<BR> was a bass tournament while we were there so the place was packed.
