If you want to catch a big bass now is the best time of the year to do so. The red bud trees are in the full bloom and the bass are fat and on the spawn. To prove a point we managed to launch the boat in the river. We caught 23 fish up to 6½ lbs. last week. Yours truly caught a 6½ lb. lunker and some over 4 lbs. They turned on pretty good. More ...
