Fathers Day Fishing

[gallenl]

My buddy and I went to one of the local lakes here in my area. We used a Canoe to gain access to a submerged stump field that is about 7-8 acres big. The lake itself is about 20-25 acres . Launched the canoe about 5:50 AM,the top water bite was on until about 9:30 am.We used the "sammy" and buzzbaits.Only one was what we would call big . around 3.5 pounds on a sammy. All the others where about 1/2 to 1 pound. When the top water bite stopped,we started dragging t-rigged tubes with rattles stuffed in them and caught several more , 2 of them over 5 pounds. All in all we caught around 20.

sounds fun...congrats on the fish.....btw, what is a ''sammy''?

[gallenl]

It's a Lucky Craft lure , used in a "walk the dog" fashion.When the water surface is calm,it's awsome. It's kinda like a zara-spook,but costs 16 bucks

thats a pretty penny there ;D

i havent caught that many big bass in my life let alone in one trip.

Did I mention that we fished for a little over 6 hours. 20 fish in 6 hours really is not alot. Some days i have caught 15 in an hour on wacky rigged stick baits alone. The right place at the right time is key. When the bite is on , "IT'S ON".

02, by the way. About the 16 dollar lure, would you rather own 4 top water baits that catch a few fish at 5 bucks a peice,or would you like one that catch's alot at 16 bucks. My fishin' buddy proved that to me yesterday.
Plus , that sucker casts like a rocket. I learn something new everytime I go fishing.

ya, but i would just flip out if i lost it somehow......thats alot of money to lose :-X hell i chased a carolina chip crank down about alittle more then half a mile on shore of the little wekiva when i lost it....i ended up jumpin in at a bend to get it.....and i got it 8) but if it comes off in a fishes mouth....i wont be able to recover it....

Trust me on this one. We spent alot of time paddling over to where it was hung up,just to free it.
