Bass fly fishing was great before the cold front came in Thursday night. I fished the foam frogs that I tied for Dan's bass/panfish swap and also fished Ridderboss' and Dan's frogs. Started out with mine, lost it to a big fish, wound me around a tree-top. So I switched to Boss's and caught a one and a half pounder right away. After about 10 more casts that were fruitless, I switched to Dan's frog. Bam, another pound and a half. Hard to believe, but with all the warm weather we've had of late, the largemouth bass had begun to start making their spawning beds and were in very shallow water. 2 1/2 to 4 feet deep. However, with the cold front that's come in and staying thru next Thursday or so, the bass will ease back out into deeper water - warmer there than in shallows. Worse thing a bass can do is get caught in shallows during a drastic temperature drop. A friend of mine found a 20 pound bass , dead and floating a couple of years ago in Lake Fork. This happened in February when temp dropped from 75 degrees to 10 degrees over night. Lots of fish were shocked/killed.
Love the German language. My wife is full blooded. Her grand parents came over from near the Argonne forest in the early 1900's. Jody's maiden name is Lutz, Grandparents - Haerther and Brauer. Can't get much more German than that. My ancestors were sent from England to a penal Colony in north Georgia, Kinda like they did with the penal colonies in Australia. so I guess you could say that I decended from "convicts" ;>) Although, folks could be put in prison for stealing a loaf of bread. Somewhere along the line, I'll learn to speak German - truly one of the great languages. Have A Great Day.
