Bass Bangin' In Auburn
Pirougejoe (Rick Bradley) invited me out to fish one of his honey holes so I packed the car and headed west to Worcester this morning. Rick's chartreuse spinnerbait was on fire all day, so much so that he never changed lures over 5 hours of fishing. He tells me 17 bass in the boat including a 3lb plus a few pickerel and other species. Meanwhile, yours truly was struggling. I started with a yellow Booyah frog, but only hooked and lost one small pickerel. After an hour did something I almost never do, I switched to a watermelon senko rigged wacky and managed to boat a couple of small bass. For the rest of the day it was back and forth between the frog, the wacky senko, a white spinnerbait and a blue and chartreuse spinnerbait. I managed to get a 3lb on the senko and immediately after that a 4lb on the frog. I just couldn't get any sort of rhythm or pattern going. All told 3 bass on senko, two bass on frog, three bass on blue/chartreuse spinnerbait, 1 bass on a white spinnerbait. An NO pickerel or any other type of fish. Oh and thanks for buying lunch Rick!
Nice to see you use same tip as I did so far. Hello Boston Harbor guy! haha
grayrider, the wind would come and go, and it would swirl so the direction kept changing. There were times when I had to use my anchor. Overall it was definitely calmer than most of my spring fishing has been.
John...
Nice fish..we had a great day of it! Enjoyed your company on the water as well.
While I did run up the numbers a little...you ended up with the biggest fish!
Yep, that spinner was on fire all day!
Thanks again...see ya next time in your neck of the woods.

Very calm water in background. Good wind day? Tannic colored bass, very cool! Nice trip.
