As you'll probably recall, Jim Bauer's last trip to Lake Gaston was one that hit him square in the wallet when he had to replace the blown head on his Yamaha. He's back there again this week--on the property owner's dime--to see if he can't have what one legitimately could call a "vacation." It would seem that Lady Luck is smiling on him.
I had a report late last night, saying that he had gotten out a couple hours last evening. His tally for that period amounted to five bass, four of which were dinks. The one keeper weighed in at 1.2 lbs. He caught two of the five fish on a Buzzjet Jr., two on a Rage craw, and one on a French fry.
He started at the mouth of Pea Hill Creek this morning and worked his way back to where he's staying, using the Rage baby craw and French fry. He also tried some topwater baits but didn't stir the first fish with them.
Jim told me he saw two big pods of fry today--one around the dock where he ties up his boat each evening. He saw a nice 2-lb. "momma" herding this bunch around. He also got to watch some bream "doing their thing" on the beds, too.
All that fishing today, coupled with getting another hour of break-in time on the Yamaha, has pretty much put Jim at parade rest tonight. He says he'll be back on the water tomorrow morning, though, looking for some more bass to put a bend in his rod.
Tight Lines! my friend.
