07/10/08 - 07/12/08 The past few days have been by far the best opportunity to sight fish Bass so far this season and this is just a preview of what's to come for the fall season. The Bass have been blind to water depth as they push pods of grass shrimp into the shallows and with the stable weather calm winds were had and each day was a carbon copy of the day prior. With the Bass tracking this predictably it allowed us to stay in front of Bass offering topwater action nearly the entire trip even during high sun warm water conditions. July is really starting to become a prime month for shallow water bass allowing clients shots at tailing Bass, rollers, wakers and best of all those shallow water slashers that are so shallow that half their body is out of the water chasing shrimp, as was the case at our last spot of the trip today. I gotta say this was a great way to end the 1st part of the season before my 4 week hiatus for the birth of the kids. Over weeks ahead I will be slipping in a few days of work and posting reports but I won't be returning to the water full time until the end of August. During this "time off" I will be updating several areas of the website including the "unspoken word” area as well as the “Iowa Fortune TV". Looking forward to Fall my September dates are starting to become thin so those of you looking to get in on the fall action should start putting the wheels in motion. Talk to you all soon
