This Week In The Outdoors
Bj Luke Clayton, Outdoor Editor
BASS ON NESTS- A
call from Nucanoe Dealer
Johnny Ross in Sulphur
Springs confirmed what a fish-
ing trip close to my home had
had indicated: largemouth bass
are on their beds and shallow
water fishing is the name of the
game. Regardless whether
you’re fishing at heralded
largemouth hotspots such as
Fork, Lake Brownwood or
Fairfield, you will want to con-
centrate most of your efforts in
shallow water. This is the time
of year when a shallow draft
craft such as the Nucanoe that
Ross fishes from allows access
to prime waters. “Last week,
we were catching bass from
water as shallow as 18 inches.
We paddled back into some
areas that were packed with
spawning bass. The Nucanoe
draws only 2 inches of water
and can get you to areas that
bass fishermen in bigger boats
simply cannot go. The boats
are very stable, and 42 inches
across the beam.” tips Ross.
Regardless how you choose to
access those backwater shal-
lows where bass are now pre-
sent in large numbers, keep in
mind that you don’t necessarily
have to sight fish for bass on
nests. “Truthfully, we catch
more bass that are cruising the
shallows, staging around lay
down logs and brush, than on
nests.” added Ross.
“Remember, bass are now in
all stages of the spawn, some
are locked down on nests,
some male bass are busy mak-
ing nests and some females are
already in post-spawn. If you
are in a new area looking for
bass, concentrate on the warm-
est water you can find, often in
the backs of creeks, at depths
of 2-4 feet.” When asked his
favorite lure for catching bass
during the spawn, Johnny em-
phatically replied “Texas
rigged lizard”. No doubt, soft
plastic lizards do a good job of
imitating the salamander which
predates heavily on the eggs
and fry of largemouth bass. As
far as colors go, the basic
black/red lizard is always a
good choice but other patterns
such as pumpkinseed or moc-
casin pattern can also be highly
effective. Shallow diving
crankbaits can also be effective
in catching shallow water bass.
A slow, stop-and-go retrieve
often works best, pulling the
baits just fast enough to cause
them to wobble. Very often the
strike comes the instant the bait
pauses, or is pulled under the
surface a few inches by a gen-
tle sweep of the rod.
SLOW is the name of
the game when fishing lizards
for shallow water bass. Ross
likes to drag the baits along
bottom slowly and when they
arrive at a bit of likely structure
such as lay down logs or stick
ups, he stops the bait and
shakes his rod tip. “This causes
the baits to shake or quiver in
place and the movement is
often more than the bass can
stand.

ing from the Nucanoe, go to

8485.
DRUM RUN UNDER-
WAY ON TEXAS COAST-
Capt. Mike Williams has
fished the bays and close in
waters around Galveston for
more years than anyone alive,
or dead for that matter. In a
recent interview with Capt.
Mike, he verified what I had
assumed; that the annual Black
Drum Run is in full swing. The
best action has been around the
Galveston Jetties but reports
are good from many of the
fishing piers as well. The best
bait is quarter sections of fresh
blue crab and the bite best on a
moving tide. Capt. Mike re-
ports his clients have already
landed drum up to 45 pounds
and catches of 15-25 fish

weighing between fifteen and
thirty pounds is common. The
steady act should continue until
mid April when fishing usually
gets really good for trout and
redfish. For more information,

OUTDOOR TIP OF
THE WEEK: VENISON BA-
CON- I recently interviews
Mike Pullen with Frisco Spices
(www.friscospices.com) for
my weekly outdoors radio
show and learned a new way to
make bacon that puts ground
venison to good use. I prepared
ten pounds of ‘venison bacon’
earlier this week and found it
easy to make. The finished
product was the tastiest bacon
I’ve eaten, and about eighty
percent lean. Chances are good
you have some ground venison
in your freezer from the past
hunting season, here’s how to
turn it into some very tasty
bacon: Mix 5 pounds ground
venison with 5 pounds ground
pork jowl (available at your
local butcher or Frisco Spices)
with the packet of cure/
seasonings from Frisco Spices
(Hickory or Maple Bacon sea-
soning). Mix by hand at least 6
minutes, making sure to blend
the seasonings well. Refriger-
ate overnight and form into 5
two-pound loaves about two

GOBBLERS GOB-
BLING- My friend Mike Ford
up in Red River County is pre-
dicting an excellent season for
hunting the eastern turkey.
“We’ve heard several gobblers
sounding off but I expect the
gobbling to intensify in the
next week. They (gobblers)
have broken up from the
bachelor groups and many now
are with hens. All it will take
for a great opener of the season
(April 1 for eastern birds) is a
couple days of warm weather.
A warming trend just before
the season opener seems to
jump start the breeding season.
Up in Jack County, Wes
Winget at the Richards Ranch
(www. r ichar dsranchtexas .com)
says he’s been hearing gob-
blers sound off for several days
now and he’s expecting a ban-
ner season. “We have lots of
birds and a good number of
jakes. Spring conditions were
dry last spring and in many
