Rockport bass opener - today - Wed

[perchinski]

Sooooo nice to finally get back in the boat again, fishing from 10-2pm.  47 air, 48 water, plus buddy & I had some unexpected whitecaps.  Tried some steep-slope rocks, tried some flats, tried some spines, tried the dam, threw shallow, dragged deep.  Finally got some browns & bows on jerkbaits and one 15' smallie before noon.  Accidentally found a glory hole trying to get out of the wind, yanking 8 smallies in the 13-15" range, all in that last hour.  Spitting up 2" perch, the bass fell for single-tail grubs as we spot-locked over 7', throwing up into 2-3', all 48-deg water.  Go figure.

Great report, do you think the Smallies  was a group of pre-spawn fish staging?  Sounds like memorable hour.
