Bassintxlady and I went out Saturday and weather'd the weather for 3 nice winter bass. Of course we had to deal with the cold temps and then rain and of course, the worst of all, the wind factor. Bassintxlady landed the first one about 2 hours into our trip, and then pulled in another a short time later, she got the best of me again, Dang those show off side kicks.....
I managed to lose my first one by getting my 8# test stuck in my trolling motor. My partner tells me it was a good one, I didn't see it, just the wake from where he/she jumped out of the water. There is one nice thing about being in the back of the boat when the wind is kicking up, you don't have to play with the trolling motor all the time while trying to fish. Anyone detect a hint of whine in there somewhere???
I lost another nice one I blieve shortly after catching my first one, due to the light weight I was using on my Trig. I couldn't feel the fish on my line soon enough due to the bow in my line from the wind factor. We caught all our bass fishing soft plastics Trigged, I was using the Vibracraw, and she was using a black floating worm, and a finesse purple curly tail worm. Hope everyone's holiday was a good one and have a safe and happy new year all.
