boostr Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 A total of a couple of hours fishing in 2 days caught my first and second bass ever at the same lake using floating square bill and a spinner bait. The first one was on the square bill but when I went to reach for the fishes lip to pull out the lure he came lose and fell back in the water ( a net would of been good). The second one was caught on the spinner bait, and I made sure I set that hook like a mofo. For not a big fish that lm hit that lure like a freight train it even jumped out of the water when I set the hook. I did get a picture with the beast Went back today around 4:30p and 2 more strikes, but didnt get the hooks set(still learning). One of the strikes was on top of the water on my floating round bill. Man Im really enjoying this Here is a pic of my second fish (sorry for the crappy quality) 1 Quote

boostr Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 Welcome to the rest of your life. Its def diff than saltwater fishing. Quote
boostr Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 Congrats. Man that area behind you looks like heaven! Its a nice lake. it actually opens up into the main lake to the right of me in the pic. You're kind of limited though because it's mostly private residentual. So for me not having a boat I have to make due. I actually caught that bass from a emergency only boat ramp wich is where the pic is taken, its actually a public park on the lake. Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted October 14, 2013 Super User Posted October 14, 2013 Cool, congrats! Quote
boostr Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 That's some bassy looking water behind you! Good for you on catching your first bass and getting your son involved while you're doing it! Especially with all those docks and decks hanging over the water... man if I had a boat. My son loves it, he's 3 and has his Spiderman fishing pole, and I've been teaching him how to cast it... well lets just say he's only 3, but he knows how to retrieve the line though. Quote
