So. I found this ditch... and I mean a ditch.. I can cast, almost pitch all the way across.. 3-4 feet deep in the middle.. 1/4 mile long maybe..looks brand new..
Stopped to check it out..loaded with minnows..muddy but nice grass in spots along the edges.. I was there about 1 minute and I saw the tell tale.. that plop with the sideways splash!! That's a bass!! Grabbed my pole rigged with ole faithful.. second cast, chunky 2 pounder!! Took a pic, released, moved 15 feet down the bank.. 5-8 more casts, bam, another chinky 2 pounder!! 30 minutes or so, couple more smaller ones, less than a pound.. several other good bites.. confirmed, this ditch is loaded with bass!!
all said and done... 2-3 hours, 4 nice bass, 3 small ones, 1 tiny one...
sometimes you just never know.. if it looks fishy, toss a line!!
