big break morning bass

  The striper bite was gone, as far as I could tell, but at 6:00 in the morning, when big break marina opens, I saw largemouth were hitting the surface.  I started throwing a spinnerbait but after a fish hit the spot where my line hit the water, but ignored my spinner, I tried the senko and that worked.  It was high tide and I caught four and lost one in the next hour and a half, but after 7:30 or so I got no more bites.  Looked for stripers and bass in the places I went last week but gave up at 11:00.
  I think I'll try it again tomorrow morning,  I just wish I could get an earlier start.
  I believe it was baitnbeer who christened that path from big break marina to the outside water "bass alley".  Now I see why.

Nice looking fish there Opie.  Thanks for the report.

Hey Opie, you can launch at Russo's at any time of day or night and just leave the fee in the door slot. 2 minutes and you are in Franks Tract. Just as good or better than Big Break, IMHO. Friendlier marina too. IMHO.

  I was considering that but I went to Franks on a bass boat Friday and three of us worked very hard for four total bass.  That was my first time there and I think it will take a few trips to learn my way around.  This morning I wasted a little time figuring out what was up,  so tomorrow I hope to get on the bite right away at big break.

  18 1/2 on the big one.  Today I went back and worked hard for four, not quite as big.  Tomorrow: Russo's.

Sorry bink and I missed you out there Saturday.  Was that your Honda in the parking lot?

  Black Yaris with yakima racks and mako saddles.  I saw you guys out there when I wandered out from the docks for a bit.  I was going to take your picture from afar for my report but my camera got wet and I couldn't get the lens dry.

Sweet looking fish!!

Glad you are getting out there, having fun and catching fish!!

Thank you for sharing!
 
Sincerely,
