Sunrises, Birds & Bass

Oh man, what a gorgeous morning out there at the river today!  It was chilly enough to give me goose bumps, there wasn’t even a hint of a breeze, and I got to witness yet another beautiful sunrise:

This guy came in pretty close to where I was fishing, no doubt going after the carp fry that were in the shallows:

“But what about bass?” you ask….well, the bass were biting as long as it was dark and right until after first light but once the sun came up, it was like someone had flicked a switch.  I caught several dinks and lost one nice one which got off close to shore smile_tongue, and just when I thought it was going to be another dink day, this one nailed my 5-inch (black) Senko and made an already good morning even better:

That fish was the biggest of the morning and like I said, once the sun came over the horizon, that was all she wrote.  By the way, does anyone know what this stuff is?  I’ve been seeing it all along the shore, on the rocks:

    They look like eggs to me. Maybe “something” laid them when the water was high, but really, I have no idea. Were they all really close to the water?

    According to someone at Anglerstown, they are “우렁이” (mud snail) eggs. Pink? LOL

    Great photos Nomad, my mother is leaving Korea later today, so I hope to do a bit of late evening fishing tonight after dropping them off at Busan airport :grin:

    I’ve never seen that red stuff before, so I can’t help :sad:

    Thanks guys. I dropped them off at the airport and went to the pond just as it was getting dark. I fished for 2 hours and caught 11 bass, but no monsters. I’ll post some photos a bit later.
