I went to Lake Jordan this morning for the first time and I really like the lake. I went with a buddy from a club I am in and he showed me around. We landed about a dozen decent bass and I caught a 3" shad on a rattle trap...go figure
. I'm catching on about what bass fishing takes down here. I tried a Carolina rig, but I'm not used to it, so I threw a Texas rig for most of the morning. I really liked the fact there is a lot of grassy areas, rocks and fallen timber. I caught all my bass only 3-8 feet off shore and in less that 6 FOW.
Last weekend when I was home in Mass, my buddy took me four wheeling and we threw a few lines in the pond for about 5 minutes because the skeeters were so bad. I got a hit every time I casted and landed two small ones. It was in a lily pad patch.....never fails. So, there is certainly a difference in fishing techniques depending on where you are in the country. ...it seems to me anyway.
