A Relocation
October 10, 2024
Day 2 with Jim & Marie saw us taking a road trip to a different puddle. The winds were expected to blow harder and I needed an area that we could actually fish. Hopefully they would have as good a day as they had yesterday!
Our first spot this morning saw Marie hooked up, on her very first cast! Although the fish came unpinned, it was a good sign of things to come. Not long after, she was locked up again and this time the fish made it to the net. It was a big smallie and definitely picture worthy! Jim was tossing a different presentation, but not for long. Marie nailed a few more fish and I soon switched both to the same baits. We remained here fa little longer until the bite stopped and then made our first move.
Our second and third areas were slower than expected but the fourth one was much better. I had positioned the boat in such a way that they were both into fish, continuously. We remained here for quite some time and slight adjustments with the baits kept the action going. Marie was on fire as usual, hooking one fish after the other. Although Jim caught several, he was no match for his wife. At one point she went at least 6 casts in a row with her rod bent! Unfortunately, all things must come to an end and that it did. We were forced to move again but not before several more bass were landed.
The next stop was equally as good and a high number of fish were landed once again. Both of them were into plenty of action, now that they were using the same presentations. As with the previous stop, this place also slowed down and we were forced to relocate again.
There was limited time remaining in the day now and I hit a few more areas before we were done. Almost every spot we hit today had fish but not the size or numbers I had expected. The water temps were still at 63 degrees and I think the best is yet to come. In the next couple of weeks, it should be on fire and I will be there to take advantage of the bite. Today with Jim and Marie was the first time I had been here this season and it was a good indication of what was going on. They definitely were content catching the numbers of bass they caught today. They also lost plenty! A great two days of fishing for Jim & Marie, the longest lasting clients I have!!
