Well i went fishing today for the first time in over 3 months. It went very well. Hehehe..................
Ok, i haven't gone in a while like i said, so i didn't know what to expect. So i had a lizard rigged, and a crank rigged, also a jig and 2 spinnerbaits ready to go. Oh yea and a lipless crank too.
The temps were in the high 30's, water temp was around 56, fog coming off it. Clarity was somewhat clear, but dingy, around 3 feet of visualbility. It was going to be bluebird skies after the fog............and it was, lol.
I started with the lizard, fished it for and hour. alternating with spinnerbait and lipless crank........nothing. I moved along the edge of the grass line, around 3-6 ft water depth.
Then i got a hit............NAILED IT! It hooked itself,lol, really hit it so hard i just had to reel it in. A Keeper! 3 and a half pounds. Nice.
so i dumped everything else and concentrated on the spinnerbait. Re-rigged another rod with a spinner mallenmanson sent me (thank you man!). Threw it out, wham, another keeper. 2 and a half pounds. Very nice, 2 keepers in da rajun cajun.
Did nothing for another hour and a half. Worked the bank in another area. Threw out mallens spinner.............another wham, another 2 and a half pounder! Wow, 3 in the fryer now. Enough for dinner.
Worked the bank some more. About 50 yards from the last hit........Wham! Number 4, another 2 and a half pounder. Started to thinking i should go pro. Hahahahaha, nnnnaaaaaaaa.
Things started to get slow now, the sun was popping out and the skies were getting really sunny. Maybe a hour to go before it is too bright.
Wham! NUMBER 5! 2 pounds even. Into the well it went.
I sat back and reflected on the morning. Started at 6:45 am. Should've gotten there earlier. Bites stopped at 1:45 pm.
5 hits, 5 catches. Total weight 13 pounds even. Might have placed in a tourny. But no....i would've not even gotten a bite if i was in a tourny.
But it was great to get BACK out on the water. Had great time and caught bass. 3 largemouth and 2 spotted.
Thanks Mallenmanson for the spinnerbaits, caught 2 off of yours. And thanks Zooker, you told me to go with the spinners to begin with. But the thing is.....it wasn't right for the spinnerbait. Water was slick as glass. Funny huh?
