I went out with my wife Tanya and as usual, she struck first with the first bass in the boat. She was fishing a jerkbait with a very long pause. After she caught her first one I asked how long she was pausing it. "It was a long time, I was spacing off thinking of our vacation," she said. That was the trick, I guess, and I started using much longer pauses.
It worked and I was able to catch a few.
We were keying on a few banks and hitting them over and over as you can see from the sonar logs I was recording. The key was finding any remaining grass that wasn't completely dead. If you were bringing in the crispy grass once in a while, you would get bit.
At this rate, we may still be catching bass in January! The only month remaining for me to say I have caught a bass in every month in Washington.
