Took off work for the swamp pond today. Bright sun, partly cloudy, low-to-mid-90's, little wind.

Fished for two hours without a bite--Baby Bass, buzzbait, soft jerkbait, and a Slammer plug--nada. At 12:30 PM, I pitched a BB next to two stumps in 9' of water and felt a bite. Landed a 4 lb., 12 ozer and she was 24" long.

Two more hours go by without any bites and I'm headed back to the truck when I pitched the BB into 5' of water near a bank and a 6.0 lber--24" too(?) grabbed the BB. Stuck her right in the tongue pad whereas, the 4/12 got stuck in the roof of her mouth.

Hot and sweaty but happy for the two Bass, I headed home to Warner Robins.

Stop it dan...you make work way too hard. Congrats on the nice fish.

Lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what have-yous

Nice fish, sometimes that's what you fish for all day, two bites. Glad your two were both solid fish.

Trev-

.... all those Georgia fish look like they are starving to death? Lack of forage or something. Just think, if you lived in Cali your two bites today would have totaled 24 pounds:P

Ya gotta head to that military base so you can show us some real Georgia lunkers (my old roomate used to manage those fisheries on that base).

Yes, I agree that they are a little skinny. They certainly don't look 'tubby' like the Cali Bass pics I've seen. I surely wish they were.

U: You'referring to Fort Stewart? I've gotten info on it and am just going to have to suck it up and give their Lunker lakes a try even though it's a pretty long trip for me.
