That is the word that comes to mind. 

I decided to visit another NC sunrise today.  We headed to an old faithful spot with 150 shad that David caught late yesterday evening.  The usually reliable spot held only a few fish.  We did catch a few with Mom landing the biggest one.  After a few hours, Mom and David left.  The total for the 4 hour morning session was 26 bass and a few other fish.  It was bass all around.

I headed out to replenish the bait supply for David’s return in a few hours.  I steamed to a cove we have been catching bait in and found the absolute mother-load.  I have seen that much before on the Lowrance, but never more.  One cast and I put about 200 shad in the well.  David came back and we spent the next 4 hours looking for new spots.  We fished a lot of areas but never located any big schools of bass. 

We decided to replenish the bait again and found it just as easy.  We dropped another 200 in the tank and off we went to a spot that is very good right now.  From 4:15 to 7:45, one of us was hooked up on every single cast, and several times, both of us at the same time.  I have experienced fishing nirvana, and it was good.  Every person needs to experience fishing like that at least once.  The evening session yielded a whopping 82 more bass from one anchored position.  Our total for the day was 108 bass.  The good old days are here again.
