Everglades (The Marshlands!) 4/26/24

[Capt. BassinLou]

Conditions:
Wind: Flat calm early, then 10-15 from the East at around 10am
Skies: Clear in the morning then partly cloudy.
Current: None
Water clarity: Stained
Fishing Time: 7am-1pm
Bass boated: 15
Biggest: touched 3lbs.

Wanted to get away from all boat traffic today, so I took out the BassHunter. Made it to my launch point at dawn, and launched around 7am.

Everything was dead calm. It's not a good sign. Worked a few baits and had nothing to show for it.

Finally, at some point, I casted to a spot that looked like it was a tilapia boil, but instead, it was a nice bass. I was fortunate enough to break in my new Dobyns Kaden 713 with that bass.


 
Spent the next several hours working my butt off for every bite.
The bass were really non-comittal today. Is what it is.



Thanks for reading!

Thanks for the report.
Sorry it was a rough day, but at least you didn't leave with 0.

Good job of figuring out the bite.

So tell us about your new rod.

Thanks, Steve. I posted a mini review over on the Dobyns forum.
