The Bite Is On During The Spawn 2021

 

Friday 5.14.2021 Morning

My son and I have been taking full advantage of the spawn season.  The last three days have been unbelievable in terms of the bite.  The bass are hungry and aggressive.  My last post talked about catching my first fish on the Zoom Fluke. Once I figured out how to catch fish with this lure, I can tell you the last three days have been one of the funnest times I've had fishing.

Lil' Shaka also got in on the action the last couple of days.  I showed him how to use the Zoom Fluke, and he was able to catch some good looking bass with the lure as well. He is also very comfortable using jigs with Berkeley Gulp Minnows. This is definitely his "go to" and what he is most confident with right now.

Lil' Shaka has caught multiple species the last couple of days on his jigs and minnows.  He caught crappie, bluegill, and bass.  Really amazing stuff, and he is turning into a really good fisherman.  It is always fun to "double-up" when catching fish. You know you are on "the bite" when you can catch fish together.

Additional Notes and Thoughts

• Fluke retrieval technique was jerk jerk pause...but also slow retrieve with little jerks that definitely mimicked a dying shad in the water.  It worked very well.
• Going early before the sunrise proved to be the best time. Fish aggressive and hungry.
• I also pulled out the wacky worm and caught a few bass that way as well.
• Wacky worms and Flukes have done really well for me during the spawn.
