Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 30, 2015 Global Moderator Posted April 30, 2015 It's pretty much a yearly tradition for me to go fishing on my birthday. So when I got off work yesterday and it was nice out, I decided to keep that tradition going Opted to hit one of the local lakes despite the fact that I knew I was pretty much ruling out the chance at a big fish, it's still my favorite close lake. Lots of fish on beds, shad spawning everywhere in the newly growing water willows, and the water was clearer than I've ever seen it before had me concerned. Took me about 30 minutes before I started to figure them about a little, catching a few on a shakyhead and some on a wacky rig. I had a 175 Slide Swimmer tied on and with all the big shad on the banks, I figured there had to be someone up there eating them. I was right, and actually found 2 that were up there eating them, both much bigger than anything else I caught all day. Thankfully I brought my Garmin Virb Elite and got both fish on it, you can even sort of see the blow up from one of them as she ate it almost immediately after it hit the water at the end of a fallen tree. 6 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 30, 2015 Author Global Moderator Posted April 30, 2015 Happy Birthday, April birthdays are the best Your dog is too cool. She's pretty much grown up in a boat. She loves sleeping out in the sun on days like yesterday when it's warm and sunny and she stays so calm and relaxed that she's really easy to have in the boat with me. Plus there isn't anything Cassidee loves much more than fast boat rides and splashing around in the water before the boat is launched and after I take it back out of the water. Quote
