Got out a little later than I wanted to, It's getting light at about 5 a.m
but didn't get out until 5:45, My lake has betrayed me, instead of the
overcast, windy thing that has been a fishing heaven, it was now like one
big piece of glass, not a ripple to be seen anywhere. Due to the fact this
trip would only last about 2 hours, I was not going to bring the whole 400
pound tackle bag. I opted for what worked well for me the past few days, a
few bags of speed worms and a few bags of wackos, and my terminal tackle.

Loaded the boat and shoved off, right off the first point I hit my first
bass on a wacky rigged wacko, little guy about 13-14 inches, Hmmm still
biting and still in the same general area's wood up on or near shore. As I
cruised the rim of the lake heading to my flooded timber spot I managed 3
more fish all on the junebug speedworm, all on topwater retrieve, casting
down the shoreline worked well as the speedworm came near any wood it
just
got hammered. Those fish were all decent fish also, I missed a few fish on
the hook set, but judging by the torn up worm they might have been
pickerel.

I got back into the stick field and worked the shoreline varying between
top water retrieve and lift and fall with the speedworm. I was using my
spinning reel(which I should not have been ) with the yozuri 10 pound
test,
fishing in the thickest of sticks. I figure if the topwaer bite continued
I
could keep the fish up on top and get her in, Not so lucky, as my worm was
inhaled and the fish put a nice bend in the rod and dove down, leaving my
hook embedded in a nice size stick, Picked up the baitcaster with the 40
lb
spiderwire stealth(not bad stuff) and chucked my worm back towrds the hole
the fish hit from, It was grabbed again, this time I set the hook like it
was a tuna and got the fish right up and to the boat, no scale but it did
measure just short of 18 inches, a nice fish indeed. Don't think it was
the
same fish, but it didn't really matter. One more fish a lot samaller out
of
there and it was time to head in. I cruised the center of the lake out to
the deeper sticks and saw bass chasing down minnows and kicked myself for
not taking at least 1 spinner bait as they wanted nothing to do with my
soft
plastics, that could have easily bagged another 2 or 3 fish, and some of
the
bigger fish have come from those sticks. All in all 6 more fish this
morning
and only 1 that was really considered a dink, the fishing continues to be
the best I have had in years, real easy to make the decision to sleep in
or
fish when the fishing is like this. I'll post some pictures later on.
