So, Day One didn't exactly go as I'd planned. Inclament weather forced my friends to cancel on me. Given the unraveling of the night I chose to load up the truck and head to local farm pond. Knowing that the fish of my dreams, or maybe nightmares, likely wasn't treading water at this location, I decided to try some patterns that I hope to utilize on some larger impoundments as the Summer drags on.
The night turned out to be a striking success! My girlfriend, Anne, and I ended up catching 19 largemouth bass on one primary point with the same rig using three different styles of soft plastics. The most productive was a black/red fleck Zoom Baby Brush Hog on a 2/0 hook with a 1/4 ounce bullet weight Texas-rigged. It was an overall learning experience that I can't wait to try on some of these Ol' Monster Bluegrass Bass!
Due to my obligations to the U.S. Military I am unable to fish any this weekend. Luckily, I did manage to squeeze in a trip to the local Bass Pro Shops to stock up! That always makes for a good day. :)
I promise that this week will include atleast a few more attempts to tame a GIANT! Until then, My Friends......
Tight Lines and Screamin' Drags,
Big Fish
