Good Day on Spruce Run...

NJBassDevil · 07-18-07, 09:24 PM

Had a great day at the Run. Figured the fish were deep on points so I hit the points across from the ramp with the shakey head. Slammed back on a huge fish. Best fight of the year. Drag peeling out and him pulling the rod under the water. Great feeling! After that I lost one on the shakey head. Saw some nice bass from 0-5 feet. As the sun went down I tried some topwater. Had 2 blow ups but they both missed the spook. As I was launching these 2 guys had literally 10 rods casted out where you can beach your boat. He was really in the way and he had a Nice hybrid sitting in the shade in a bucket. Why cant they just go shore fish where everyone else does? People are jerks. The water level is getting LOW. I'll say it was 3-4ft low today. Water temp was 85, water clarity was stained, the bass was in 5ft of water on a dropoff, light winds and I got him on a Shakey Head. He was 19.5" and about 3 1/2 lbs.

Jerks fishing right by the ramp. I almost got my TM caught in their line...

Me getting the bass outta the livewell...

HOGS!!!

Bass was release immediatly after pic was taken without any harm.

I'll tell you what, them there are some great shoes!! i wear them everywhere, they are as comfortable as you can get. With that being said, i'd say them shore fisherman were there for business, a rod every 10 ft, they were lookin to catch some dinner. Furthermore, thats a nice bass you got therre, goes to show even the [relatively] little guys can put on a fight. In addition, thats a nice boating set up you have there, and that area you fish is beautiful.

Yeah... one day I too will have a boat of my own to spend hours upon hours customizing and piddling with in the garage, then hours upon hours upon even more hours out on the water.
