Lets see. With high tide being 2 hours before sunset, shall I shop with a bunch of crazy people or deal with wind and cold in hopes of feeling the tug that has eluded me since July? I chose to shop. Just kidding. I went fishing. Good choice too. Lets just say the bass are back in the river and they are hungry. Didnt get much for the first hour and a half, but once the sun set and the winds died down a nice rip formed well within casting range and the bite was on. I stopped after the 15th was landed because my arm is totally out of shape, but in the mix was a 29" 31" and 32". A 5" Chartreuse and White Clouser did the trick. The bite didnt get good until after sunset too. They waited till twilight to move in. Definitely beats going to the mall.
