yesterday's fishing

crankybait · 12-30-06, 11:00 AM

OK, I am not really reporting anything because we got SKUNKED (then again it was 45 degrees out... don't know what I was expecting). Anyway, It was feeling very warm out before we left, and so I took 2 friends. One had been fishign with me before, and has caught a bass. The other never fished in his life. Being the genius I am, I was fishing a case magic stick (4.5 inch stickbait) in clear smoke. My friend Sunny (the one who never fished before) needed to borrow some gear so he used my ugly stick+ shimano stradic combo with a green pumpkin and brown booyah jig with a green pumpkin paca craw.

By the end of the day I had him just casting with his wrist and not every muscle in his body. Although we got skunked, he had a blast casting because the jig flew like a plane.
Then I hooked my other friend up with a husky jerk.

Both of them fished their lures completely wrong, but the one with the jig did get a few bites

Of course I forgot to mention that when you feel something, you set the hook instead of turning, lookin at me and screaming that he has a bite.
So we went around the pond. When we got to my nice spot... fence. Fences? pssh no problem!

lure snagged while fishing over a fence? We got it!

and the feature presentation... what happens when a crazy creative fishing child gets snagged about 3 feet into the water?
step by step tutorial.
1.Build a bridge with 2 small fallen tree trunks. walk out on them, using bushes for support. MAKE SURE THEY DON'T ROLL! stop by a bush to notice there is line stuck in there. make mental note to get it out and find any lures at the end.

2. walk out further.

3. reach out and attempt to snag lure with a stick

4. retrieve bait
