10/20/08 Hello fall... phase II of the fall run has now begun. That 2 day NE blow over the weekend triggered the 2nd mirgrational push of Bass into the backcountry which in turn allowed me to keep us in front of Bass all day long. Topwater action, subsurface action, along with some top notch sight fishing, we basically had it all today. We started out the day raising 6 Bass on topwater which led to us picking a up nice bass as we casted to a group of them tailing in shallow 9" pocket of water. With the skunk out of the boat we managed to keep a steady bass picking pace for the remainder of the trip. As always, my focus is on topwater action and with the bass tracking very predictably today in the shallows the surface action was about 80% of the trip. Spot 1 we raised 6 Bass, caught 1, Spot 2 we raised 5 Bass, caught 3, our 3rd area looked too good to pass by so we worked a little subsurface presentation and picked up 23 Bass. In our 4th spot we had 4 nice strikes and lost 1 boat side and when the tide was just right we made a short skiff run in hopes of getting in on some sight fishing and we did just that. See it, catch it. We had 2 nice bass feeding hard in a few tight areas and once again as in prior days, we laid in a few precision casts until the we had just the right swing so that the Bass just could not resist, which resulted in a nice 30" fatty pulled out of 10" of water. No sooner did we get that one photographed and released we were hooked up with the other bruiser we saw (that one pulled out of 8" of water). A two'fer to end the trip. In total for the day we had 29 Bass ranging in size from 18" to 31". Water temps dropped to a prime 49-53 degrees
