It was foggy when I arrived at the private hole this morning.  This is what it looked like.

Pretty spooky looking and was very quiet.  I went in a different direction than usual to start and started with a 4 inch swimbait with a hook exposed jig head. It was dipped in some orange Spike It with a strong garlic scent. It turned into a firetail swimbait.  Since it was so dark and was sort of cool, I didn’t expect any action right off the bat but I was wrong. I caught two quickly in one spot. It was a place where the wind had a slow vortex going around the hole and there were a lot of leaves floating in it. Not many more until about noon when things began to pick up some what.  Going through that drought I had resorted to a shakey head worm but only had two worms that were quickly torn. I took a small plastic with a club tail and trimmed the body so the hook would come out and put it on the shakey head. I dipped the tail in some chartreuse Spike It to enhance both the color and the smell. When you pulled it, the tail would swim and the fish seemed to like it.

This is the picture from the last post but with a regular jig head . The only problem was I only had one with me. A sack full at home but only one in the boat. When will I learn? After that was gone I pulled out another new bait, Spiked It with chartreuse and put it on the shakey head.

This photo is from the last post too. I think most were caught on this bait and a shakey head.  The bites were all very timid.  Once I wanted to fish a spot directly across the hole, so instead of fishing the bank around, I just turned the trolling motor on and headed straight across. Instead of doing nothing I threw a XRD-8-S out the back of the boat and trolled it across. Made it halfway across when the rod loaded up and this was on the end of the line.

The fish was in 30 feet of water suspended, I guess, right out in the middle.  There were 16 bass for the day with a FOD of 2-15 and 3 grinners.
