Back some years ago I was fishing at Beaver Lake on a hot summer day-The fish were being very moody-I was fishing a slider on 6 lb line got on a point i could feel the fish messing with it' but would not take it-about 18 ft down.So i gave up went back to the dock -Told Paul Tackett the guy that run the dock then he said -uh just some bluegill messing with you-i said no way its Bass-Then i got pissed off in a good way-I looked at him and said give me some nightcrawlers-I will be back shortley back to that point i went took off the 4 inch slider worm and slid on a nightcrawler bam first hit nice keeper went on to catch 7 more keepers-45 minutes i stoped fire up the ten horse-Went back to the dock pulled out the boat-Went in an got Paul hEY dAMIT come look in the livewell-Showed him 8 nice bass then i returned them to the lake-Got a big UM look from him -then i gave him back the crawlers i had left and went home-That was the last time i ever fished with live bait for Bass that i can recall---GL to us all
