    Chick - where are the bass?

    I was there today (Friday, 24th) for a while. Lots of bait where I expected it to be, but could't buy a bite on a Jerkbait, A-Rig or Lipless crank. Anyone having any success?

    My grandson was trying to catch them on his WII game today. He broke off at least 10. Never boated one. He finally went IKE and I had to go have a talk with him. LOL

    Why would they want something fake when there are millions of real bait to eat. That's why I've moved to Nickajack between the dam and the suck. Spots enmasse and they want shakey heads.

    Yes sir. If they're pulling water, the spots are eating.

    Anybody had any better luck lately? The new boat is calling my name but if they aren't biting I'll stay in the woods
