beautiful day, terrible for fishing. This day was my dedicated worm, creature bait day. Threw 4 in rage menace looked awesome in the water, green pumpkin and dipped the tails in yellow garlic on a 4/0 hook will downsize to 3/0 next time, didnt catch a darn thing.
Threw the red 8in kingtail texas and neko, nothin. So i put on a senko texas rigged, super lookin action on a 4/0 hook with 1/8 oz pegged weight, finally caught a coupe dinks.
No more action on senko so i put the waders on and went to explore new water away from main culvert and threw spinners around pads, through pads, on top of pads....caught pike only, ok i can live catching pike for fun and then i got wet, naw it didnt start raining that came later at night.
I stepped into the abyss, just wading stomach belly button deep and stepped where no man wants to go and i was under water, my rod held tightly in my right hand and my waders filling up like a super gulp at the 7-11 i started to jump off the bottom lunging to move forward untill i got my feet on firm footing and walked to the shoreline, sat on a rock, took of waders and dumped them out.
Put them back on and continued fishing. As i sat on the rock i noticed an old broken up wooden boat lift on the shore line and i think this old lift used to be out where i sunk.
Got out of the water and went to my car and changed into dry clothes, feels good after all your lower extremities, feet especially are all water logged and shriveled up. Wife was sunnie fishing and caught 46 combined crappie and sunnies. She, known as the bass slayer threw some senkos and hard baits for bass but nothin. The bite all day was dead but for a few dinks.
I went back to the worms but nothing at 7-830 pm, top waters, nope, jerks, square bills, storm swim baits got me nothin, not even a pike grrrrr now i want a pike, i want 1 more fish to end the day so i go to old faithfull, the froggg, the black pad crasher.
Its gettin dark as a storm is commin our way so i toss the frogg into the shallow pad covered corner of the lake where its so shallow a grasshopper coud stand up in it and not get his knees wet.
I pull it through a handfull of times and whoosh it gets hit and i give it 4 seconds before i didnt even set the hook because i had really slack line from just given it a pull and by the time i got the slack out he was pulling hard.
I started to reel in and i landed him, i tell ya that guy weighed in at say 1.5 lbs, but at least my frogg came through for me and i had a nice drive home in the rain.
