LGMouth Sat Evening

[Captmikestarrett]

Supposed to meet clients at 3 pm and they arrived at 4:30pm. Wind was kicking up from the south at 28 so I nixed his idea of doing a fly trip. Darn glad I made that decision. Earlier I broke my 6wt ORVIS pulling cover off of boat.. OH WELL... Orvis will fix it. They arrive and a charming 9 year old girl is going fishing with Dad but has to use her rod and reel with 6lb test. I had to figure what would work from my vast lure selection for her. I needed something without treble hooks and any exposed hook. I settled on a tube jig with an HP hook hidden inside. Opened up my tube box and asked the cute little girl to select a tube. That took almost twenty minutes BTW
Earlier::About 2:30 I had arrived and there where about forty bass boats pounding every inch of shoreline on Mattawomen Creek so my possible catch rate was now cut in less than half. But that will not stop me. I am used to picking up fish behind weekend bass fisherman. Seems that they had a big tourny at Smallwood and nobody could leave the creek.. JEBUS why the heck did they have it then??
Back to the fishing action...yea right .. So now we have a tube selected and the wind has pushed about 2 billon yards from where I wanted to fish.. We go back and work the grass edge on a incoming and dad has skills but still zeroed out that night. The cute little girl did the pee pee dance three times causing a return to dock three times during the best bite times. Oh and she lost two fish due to the wimpy rod and lack of hookset. But they had fun.
Dad got sick and puked overboard too. So all in all it was a great trip.
I made about twelve casts and got three nice bass on topwater..No pictures this time.
