New guy with a nice catch

sac · 04-10-09, 09:46 AM

Hey all, I'm new to the forum, I've been on other Bass forums and stumbled upon this one and found it to be EXTREMLY full of good info. Sooo I went to a nice little lake about a mile from my house and had a good day. The beds were crazy and the schools of Bass were unreal. I caught a couple little guys and then right before I packed it up, I threw a 10 in Snake lure over a couple beds. Well the snake dissappeared and I reeled this bad boy in. Just under 5lbs but I rounded up. So 5lbs

From Punta Gorda FL. Thanks

sac · 04-10-09, 10:39 PM

Thanks all!!!! Yeah it put up a nice fight too, great day! It felt like a 9 pounder, but the scale said otherwise. First time I got one with the Mann's hardnose snake lure. They have such great action. Thanks again for the warm welcome, I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.

LOL! It's the first 3 letters of my last name(which no one can pronounce) so SAC is as far as most people get to, it's been my nick name since like 3rd grade. Thanks again everyone, I was super happy I got the chance to reel that Bass in. I'm going back soon to see if I can catch it again

VinnyH · 04-13-09, 02:35 AM

Welcome, seems like a nice bunch and the ringleader. Kevin, has awesome videos and information on the site.

Great bass, I'm more tempted to throw a big snake now up here in NY.

Best Always,
VinnyH

Welcome to the forum Bro. and nice fish.

My nickname when I was younger was Ostrich Flake.

sac · 04-13-09, 11:48 AM

From what I've heard from people I've talked to about throwing a snake, is that BIG Bass love them. A friend of mine told me, if you want to know if there is any big Bass where you're fishing, just throw a snake, you'll find out then because you'll be reeling in a Monster. Sure enough!

aikenyounggun · 04-13-09, 02:10 PM

hummm about the snake thing, never thrown one and never really believed it.... but welcome to the site and nice fish.... maybe you will catch a 5lber everytime you throw it from now on......

MississippiBoy · 04-13-09, 02:13 PM

Let's put it this way...with that size and type of lure, you're way more likely to catch a big one than a little one. Of course, that also means the number of fish you catch will decrease. So that's a "quality over quantity" decision.

REDBULLCUBAN · 04-13-09, 05:37 PM

Welcom SAC, were abouts in PG are you im in Deep Creek, fish mostly some canals in the area but dont kno of any good places that pull out quality fish.

I'm in Deep Creek too. I fish the canal on Seasons St or Rio. You can see Seasons St right behind me in the pic. WOW small world.

REDBULLCUBAN · 04-15-09, 07:10 PM

Yeah i fish rio alot its so low right now, the rain yesturday should have gave it a lil bit, have you fished the pond behind explorer i think it is. When i hit up the canals its usually like a spur of the moment thing i can send you a message on here and vice versa if you want.

Bubba_Bruiser · 04-15-09, 10:06 PM

I gotta go with my 601 bro (MSboy) in the username

Chuckle chuckle. Awesome catch though & welcome aboard. You can laugh at me for hauling in dinks all year.
