Dam 2-10-07

MY moms friend just bought a house on a dam about an hour from here, so We went and spent the day with her. I launch her conoe into "unexplored" waters. I start out with a wacky rigged senko in sweet potato pie, and quickly get 4 dinks in about 40 minutes. The bottom is sand, with some large patches of tall weeds, looking more like flowers than "weeds". I then put on a pumpkinseed 3" tube t-rigged. 4th cast against a large rock, and I hook a slab smallie!! yes a smallie!! It was on for about 20 seconds before it jumped and threw the hook I think it was about 3-4 pounds. My PB smallie is 4 inches, so this was a big deal for me. I fished for another 45 minutes before We had to go, and only 1 bluegill in that time. Whats good is, tomorow after church we are going back, because they are throwing a party and stuff like that. All i know is, I will be fishing! I took pics of the bass, and Ill put them up tonight. Maybe then someone can ID the weeds and give me some tips on what to use for smallies.
