They landed 3 fish today.... 3 1/2 to 4 pounds. Hooked into some others, but they ran into brush and broke the 4# test line. Lots of fish followed and gave half-hearted chases... Exciting, but no bend in the rod.
Try check the coves and shorelines with an on-shore wind. I guess it's true what they say about the wind blowing shad and baitfish into shore.
Speaking of bait.... I bet if those peacock bass were chasing a lure and not biting... they might just bite if some one tossed a live bait in the area.
Several years ago I fished with some people who did just that. The 9 year old just stood in the middle of the boat.. spinning rod in hand, and a live bait dangling in the water. Every time his Dad or Brother hooked into a fish or had a fish chase their lure, the kid just tossed the live bait into the area.
Boy did he catch the fish... twice what dad and older brother landed together.
