Not being able to catchwhen predators are splashing and chasing all around me is something I need to fix....
Do you know how to fish topwater lures? That is definitely the most fun way for me to catch LMB! (When it works.)
If they are hitting on topwater lures, then you need to be careful not to set the hook too soon. When I was a kid, I would see the fish coming and sometimes yank the lure away from the fish.
It sounds like you are doing a good job culling those bass. I hope THAT job is more enjoyable than some of the other chores on your list for this spring!
