I caught a few bream in the back of a cove on a white rooster tail after that. Later in the morning, I continued to fish off the grass edge, using a Berkley 7" Powerworm in Pumpkinseed, texas rigged with a 1/4 bullet weight. I had a lot of taps from the little guys, but no success. Finally, I was able to set the hook on this one:


16" and a tad under 2 lbs.

Later, while continuimg to fish off the grass, I managed another:





18.5" and 3 lbs.

The action was slow, but I managed a few decent bass. For the two pictured, I never felt a tap, just the weight before I set the hook. I missed another nice fish between these two, and also had one of my powerworms come back missing the tail. I was on the water around 5:30am and off by noon. I would have stayed out longer, but had other plans in the afternoon.

Be safe out there on this holiday weekend!
