Super User deep Posted April 7, 2015 Super User Posted April 7, 2015 .. don't let me down. Everything happens for a reason I guess. Post-break-up and post-recovery, I have more time to fish. The conditions today I felt were marginal for hunting big fish- it's hard work. So I hit another res (walnut creek) for some fun-fishing. I cleaned my jig reel (that has fluoro on it) in the AM, but didn't have time to lube it. So I took along a reel spooled with braid and primarily fished shallow. Worked out pretty well. The first laydown produced a dink that got off. The second produced a nice high 5#/ low 6# class bass, that did *not* get off. Apparently I need to eat more wheaties before trying to hoist fish like this. The next two laydowns got me nothing. The fifth laydown had a 4# class bass on it that ate my jig. And then I ran out of wood cover in the general area. I didn't want to leave fish to find fish, besides the adult fish were obviously biting. Worked the area a little deeper, and caught a 5# class fish. Probed around some more, bottom bumping, pitching, and swimming, and didn't do much good. Tried a coupla other spots, caught a few dinks. Like this one. Came back to the first spot, and found that the bucket brigade took it over in the meantime. So I left. 6 Quote
