Default Woo Hoo

I went on an estimate today and the lady had a lake in her back yard. After a bit of small talk I asked if they had fish in it, she said "just bass". She also said I was welcome to fish it anytime. And being the man that I am there are ALWAYS 2 rods in my truck. So over the next 2 hours it was almost heaven, I swear just about every cast something was tryinn to knock the *** of my spinner bait. Easily caught 30. After the first 15 or so I had to go back to the truck for my camera. So heres a few of the keepers. Funny thing is I only fished from 2 spots. I literaly didn't move an inch out of those footseps.





What was so exciting was that the smaller bass would constantly be trying to hit it, then boom, you rod would fold over. I'm still shaking with excitement.

I like fishing, but I don't mess around about my money.

Glad to hear you got out! Must have been fun. What color spinner bait was it that you were using? Nice fish BTW!

A little place called Praireville Louisiana. Good thing is its just rich folk who want water front property, non of them really fish it and you can't go without permission.

Boys, that is the kind of day that doesn't come along often and keeps you coming back when you get skunked. You had a great day, amigo!

That's great luck to come across a honey hole like that. Do the lady a favor whenever you get a chance. I'm not saying you need to reduce your price, but be courteous to her. If all you do is wave as you walk through her yard to go fish, you won't be fishing there long. Clean some limbs out of her yard, rake leaves, something simple. She'll start wanting you to come over after that.

Don't you just hate it when you get permission to fish ponds that are rarely, if ever, fished?
