Incredible and record breaking day on the water for me! This day was May 3rd, 2015. I dodged golf balls and caught 32 bass this day! It was a FULL MOON. First full moon in May is normally when bass go crazy with the spawn around here. Water temperatures were in the 58-64 degrees range and there were nearly 100s of bass spawning within 5ft of the shore line and their beds were visible. The water clarity was around 5 feet. Air temperatures in the 60s to start but quickly got into the 70s. Sunny skies and a barometer of around 1019 millibars. Southeast winds at 10mph. This is part one of 3. Stay tuned for more!
Lures used were heddon zara puppy, YUM 4″ Dinger in baby bass and green pumpkin/chartruse tip. Booyah Pad Crasher in Cricket Frog Color. Zack and Justin caught bass on a variety of worms. A few were also taken on spoons.
Rods used were the Bass Pro Shops Tourney Special 7′ medium heavy action fast baitcast rod with a lews speed spool. 15lb test Trilene Flurocarbon. The spinning rod was an ugly stick 6’6″ medium heavy action rod with a Pflueger President Spinning reel spooled with 15lb test Stren braid and a 10lb test 4ft mono leader.
Camera was the GoPro Hero with the head strap.
