This week I did 4 guide trips and the fishing is unusually good for July. We averaged 30 bass landed per day with excellent size. What I noticed is when the sun comes up and the bass can get a good look at the shad they are starting to school. This is by far the most fun fishing of the year. When 100 bass come up near the boat feeding aggressivel...
