Thanks Richard and Randy.
I usually pick up my wb when I arrive at the launch early in the morning. Right after daylight the wb begin feeding on the emerging midges in the channel and especially near the end of the ramp. A small flashy spinner will usually produce a fish on the first cast. They can get fussy about the spinner if they are gorging on midges but their aggressive nature will usually trigger a strike. I use a second pole with a small hook about 12-15 inches under a bobber with a piece of crawler just big enough to cover the hook. I can usually have a half dozen or so wb in 10 minutes. I always take some frozen wb with me... just in case, but fresher is better so I always try for whities before I launch. Most of the bass are adults in the 8-10 range but lately I have been picking up a few 3 or so inchers that appear to be young of the year.
More water and less smoke would sure help but I still favor Sept. and Oct. as the bigger cats are recovering from the ravages of the spawn and stocking up on grub for the winter. My favorite time to fish for 'em.
Hope to see you on the water.
