First bass in 2020
It was lucky to be able to catch bass on a bissextile day, though I didn't know how to say this term in English (just a leap day?). Two bass are more than I expected yesterday.

Late summer bass
I took a day off and went fishing to catch the first bass in this month. A big rainy front has been staying around here, and we have much rainfall this week. I prepared more light-colored lures than usual.
In the first pond I visited, I caught a couple of bass but all were small.
Then, I headed to another pond that I have never been to before. I had a difficulty to find a route to go there, but finally got there. Water quality was nice there, and almost half of the water surface was covered by aquatic plants. As soon as I re-started fishing, a nice blackish bass hit my Pop R.
I changed lures to a Heddon Zara Spook, and cast it to a different spot surrounded by floating weeds. Another nice one with a yellowish belly quietly took my Zara Spook into its mouth, and I set a hook hard. It was a hard fighter with a big tail, but I finally caught it.

I wanted to enjoy fishing more, but I had to stop fishing due to hard rain with occasional thunders. Better be safe than sorry.

Chugger Spook YBS
May is going to be over before I know it. I went fishing for only one hour early in the morning to catch the last bass of this month.
I started with Heddon Big Bud and Dalton Twist, but soon changed to Chugger Spook (YBS, yellow with black spots), which I sharpened hooks of. I like these Chugger Spooks manufactured in the early production era very much, because their buoyancy is a little different from later ones. Anyway, I could caught a bass (not so big) with the YBS Chugger Spook, and I'm satisfied with the result. Now, I'm in rush to go on a business trip...
Today's tackle: ABU Ambassadeur 5500C (BLK),Phillipson Pacemaker PC-56, Daiwa Sight Surf, Heddon Big Bud, Dalton Twist, Chugger Spook, Lucky 13, etc.

Heddon SOS
I took a makeup day off today, and went fishing. I headed down southern area of our prefecture, about one-hour drive from here. I expected a good fishing, but as usual reality was much worse than expectation. While I fished from the dawn until the noon, in a total of 5-6 ponds, I got only two small bites and caught only one bass with an old Heddon SOS (wood prop bait). It was a nice fat bass, but I wanted to catch a couple of more...
Today's tackle: ABU Ambassadeur 5500CA, Fenwick Iron Hawk 62CLJ, Daiwa sight Surf #5, Dalton Twist, Heddon SOS, Wounded Spook, Chugger Spook, Lucky 13, etc.
