Skip's email this evening provided more evidence that spring bass fishing indeed is starting to turn on. This 2-lb. fish was his first of the day.
This fish tipped the scales at 3 lbs. on the nose.
Skip went on to tell me that he also had two more fish close to the first one, as well as one that looked as though it would have measured about 12 inches.
The "magic" baits today included a fluke-like lure and a Lake Fork minnow. Skip said he had a couple blowups on the fluke-like lure that didn't connect, and he added that a lot of fish bumped the Lake Fork minnow. The three that he caught on the latter, though, "nailed it," to use his words.
A toothy critter found the minnow so enticing it couldn't resist a chance to snatch the bait, and according to Skip, "would not fall off" for anything.
The one thing weird about today was that, once the wind shifted to the south, the fishing slowed dramatically--"or maybe I just slowed," Skip allowed.
"Trying to get out tomorrow again" is how Skip wrapped up his email, and I'm willing to bet he'll have at least a little company, seein' as how it's Friday and the fishing seem to be heating up. I'll be waiting for any and all reports tomorrow evening.
