basic bass















i went bass fishing today for the first time since i sold my bass boat last summer. since i no longer have a boat and vince couldnt fish till after "yard sale duty," i decided to hit up the shore early this morning. i packed light and only took two rods. one rigged with an okeechobee colored zoom trick worm and one rigged with an arkansas shiner zoom fluke. there have been large schools of shad in the lake and the bass have been active. i caught several bass early. nothing huge but it sure was nice to fight some large mouths. i tried to grab some action shots but its not easy fighting a fish and taking photos at the same time. vince and his son, henry, joined me mid morning for a few casts but the fish had stopped biting for the most part because of the heat.

Awesome pictures! Nice fish! Looks like you had a good time. Is that the only two things that you used?
