Good Weekend

[loudcherokee]

Had a nice weekend fishing this past week. Was fishing a pond at a camping resort that's stocked. It was my first outing with my new Lews reel and new Berkley shock series lightning rod. MAN I can't believe what I've been missing.

I ended up catching about 6 largemouths, all from about 1-3 pounds. No big guys this trip.

I was able to catch a bass on a plastic worm for the first time ever. I used a strike king brand senko style in watermelon, wacky rigged on a drop shot rig, and just kept reeling them in.

I also had my first jig-caught bass. It was one of the $1.96 jigs from wall mart in green and black with rattles. I had a pork trailer on it. I didn't even get a chance to fish the jig though. I came up on a tree with a bunch of submerged green and red weeds and thought, lets see how this weedless thing works. As soon as the jig hit the water my line took off and I had the hook set. that was the bigger of the 6 caught.

All in all exciting. I love firsts with a new lure. I did lose a few on my "old faithful" rebel pop r in silver. they were hitting, and I was either waiting too long to set the hook or jerking it out of the fishes mouth. None that got hooked got off though.

Any time you can catch fish on lures you normally dont use or aren't comfortable with that's a good trip
