First of the Year

BigBassin144 · 03-22-11, 07:28 PM

Yesterday afternoon, I threw my Daiwa Sol on a G Loomis MBR782C IMX and tied on a small Rapala x-rap 08. After a few casts in my pond, I had a hit, but he got off right at the shore (I was taking it easy on the hooksets as I was using braid).

After about 15 minutes I hooked up with another one and got it in. I was just thinking, "How did I catch one of Bama's fish?!" hahaha, he was about 8" long, but at least it was a bass!

Fished for another 15 minutes and picked up the dropshot with a 1/8oz tube on the bottom and hung another small fish on the tube. Can't wait to get out to the local reservoir if the wind and rain ever stop!

Good for you, BB! Always good to get on the board for another year.

It's been windy and raining here for two days with flood warnings all over.

Ryan, we're killing you now, but it will be the other way around later when you're posting pics of those huge Erie smallies!
