PG Report: 9/16/06 .... Simplicity
After waking up at 6a.m. and Fixing Myself corn beef hash and Eggs over Easy YUMMY, I set out to Hit the River I Arrived and First set my line in the water at 7:30a.m. And I Fished until 10:30a.m. I started out using a Black Soft Plastic with a Jig head With out a tap, So I made the switch to a Brown soft plastic and landed one, Thinking about The conditions and how the first one had bit I downsized my jig head and that was the ticket for the rest of my morning. Making this adjustment landed me 11 More Large Mouth Bass 12 Counting the One Before the Adjustment. This goes to show you how big a difference a few ounces or even a slight color differential could make in having a successful outing. I was Fishing 3 Feet of water Next to a Small Weed Bed Slowly dropping into 5 Feet of water. Fish Weren't Really aggressive I had to have my hand on the line 80 % of the time, And the Wind didn't help much either. But The Outing Was Successful And I learned two new things in which i may add to my Winter Arsenal !

I'm not surprised about the size adjustment making a difference, as much as the color change. Since bass are color blind, usually they only notice a difference from darker to lighter colors. I'm surprised that changing from black to brown made any difference. I'm just curious on other people's thoughts. Thanks for the report George.
