Good day of scouting, shooting, & hunting for bass

[ilovesprig]

Did a drive about and started early...Toms are still gobbling and struttin' for the girls...A little disappointed in the number of poults I saw, but it's still early...Saw a number of deer, but few bucks...Stopped at my favorite squeaker spot...Despite high grass, a few peaked out a little too much...On the way home, I decided to hunt for some bass...Found this big girl in 2 1/2' of water...Battle royal!

I'm going to the Sierras next week, but the week after that---Henshaw bass, watch out!! Of course, I'd probably do a lot better if I knew what the hell I was doing. Quite a learning curve going from offshore trolling for ahi, ono, and marlin in HI to finesse fishing for bass at Henshaw. Actually, a lot easier fishing in HI than fishing here.

Is that a CZ?

Do you have to pick up the ground squirrels? I always leave them for their buddies to eat and the Ravens

You do if you want the head mounted.

What rig do you use? Also, what are the GPS coordinates for where you catch the big bass? I don't want your exact location, obviously, but within 8 feet would be OK.

Bruce,

No secret...Texas rigged, 5" Zoom worm, straight tailed pumpkin with green tail...South shore line and about the 10th green willow tree still in 2 1/2' of water....
