Scott, Chris & Neil joined me this morning a little earlier than usual. We hit the water at 6:00 AM as they had to leave by 3 this afternoon. It felt strange launching this early, as I have become accustomed to getting out by 7. <\/span><\/p>\n

I headed directly to a drop shot area and after about an hour or so and only small fish, we relocated. I knew that Neil would be able to fish the next spot a little more effectively as he was casting a fly. Drifting with a fly rod wasn\u2019t so easy on the first place but he did manage to catch a few there too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well he pretty much put on a clinic here with all the bass he landed! Both Chris and Scott also caught their share but Neil definitely landed more. He was having a great time after his trip last year when Scott put a beating on him. Payback felt great as his rod was almost always bent!<\/span><\/p>\n

Later in the afternoon we decided to make a long run searching for some largemouth bass. As soon as we arrived, Scott hooked up on what we thought was the right species but it turned out to be a smallie. With all this high water it\u2019s no wonder that they too are roaming the weedy areas as well. Right around the same time, Chris missed another but his was definitely a green one. He rebounded a few minutes later, further away, with a nice fat largie and proof that they were actually here.<\/span><\/p>\n

We had covered a lot of area and still only had the two fish when Scott nailed something tight in the weeds. Too bad it turned out to be a northern but it still gave him a great fight. Neil had been having a difficult time with the fly rod and finally broke down to use a spinning rod for the remainder of the trip. He also landed the last fish before we were done and it too was a smallie. I might have to check out this area a little more now that I have seen the brown ones roaming here too!<\/span><\/p>\n

This day couldn\u2019t have been better with a slight SW wind for drifting and plenty of eager fish biting. Everyone had a great time and especially Neil. He had boated many good bass throughout and almost all with his 5 weight fly rod. The fights were especially great in the current areas we concentrated on! The others definitely didn\u2019t expect him to do as well as he did but by positioning the boat for him to fish, I knew he would. His angle for the area was perfect and he took advantage of every cast by swinging the fly directly into the paths where they held. Just another great day for fishing!<\/span><\/p>\n
