Always wanted to see if the Bass respond to an eclipse. Yes they did! Fished yesterday afternoon with my neighbor. Just needed to locate them. Caught 3 in the main lake on senkos with a worm spinner attached. The wind was steady maybe 10 mph from southeast. We started the drift down the creek channel. Picked up a few until we got about 100 yards from the north end. The fishing came alive. We had times that two casts and got two Bass. All of the action was on senkos in Red Shad cast into the channel. Threw some top water at the end going back to the dock. I was the teacher and failed miserably. My neighbor had at least 20 blowups and not one hook up. He just couldn't hesitate and let the Bass take it. These were all on a Spro bronze eyed frog color white. Biggest of the day was a couple of 4 pounders and total for the afternoon right around 30 very healthy Bass.
Side notes. The water is crystal clear, the lake is full and the weeds are at the top on both sides. For the duck hunters there was a flock of ducks, maybe 30. Not sure what they were but dark with short bills. Plus there were another 5 or 6 singles they were larger in size but also dark.
Now the funny part of the day. Pulled back to the dock right around 7pm. Just pulled up and the fish feeder went off. I got pelted pretty good and thank God I was standing up ready to exit the boat. Now I know how a duck feels when it gets blasted with shotgun pellets. Provided a good laugh to end the day.
Only took just over one hour going up 121 from Grapevine. I love that short trip especially on the ride home.
