I often wondered what made George Liddle Sr. decide to bass fish on the Cal Sag.
“When you’re ate up with bass fishing,, when there is a pond, you’re going to fish it,” said his son George Jr. driving back Sunday to Arkansas. “In the early ‘80s, we went out there a couple times and, ‘What the heck? There are fish here.’
“Early on, it was small baits, single spins, small crankbaits, doing anything to get a bite. Those baits still work well.”
Near the Y on the Calumet, they got up to 40 bass a day sometimes.
