Default Back to the main stem

Havent been out as much and when I have been it's been at North Branch.

So hitting the main stem and nailing some larger bass has been satisfying.

I normally take good pics, but here's three bad pics of the same fish to make up for it. Learning how to get good shots with a camera timer.

Landed her right between the weed section and a deep run. She had some smaller buddies around, along with a big cousin Larry; unfortunately didn't hook him.

Originally sighted these fish, they got close to me and got disinterested with my marabou jig plopping infront of them.
I then lose sight of them, they probably schooled elsewhere. I then retreated behind the weeds near the shore and casted a few times in the general area. Felt like any normal fish at first. When I saw it coming up I said "that's the fish!"







The rest of the day was a bit lame but managed some ok bass and BIG redbreast.

Bonus pics.





The big girl was caught at 10:50am on a 1/16 oz black marabou jig. However not in a shaded area like most of the time. Maybe the weeds gave enough shade/shelter?
