BareHook Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Fishing the home lake last Friday was a little tough, it was pretty breezy with the wind in our face and bright sunny around 3 in the afternoon. We were just poking around a bit and had caught a couple little guys earlier. I was using a pumpkin red flake 5" Senko and Ben had the same but in June-bug. I had a swirl on mine , but it didn't eat it, so Ben cast in the zone and it was "Fish On!". After a short fight with one above water headshake that had me praying, he was able to ease her ashore for her photo session and release with our many thanks. Ben was using a 7' star rod and Okuma RTX 25 spinner with 10lb power pro and a 12lb fluorocarbon leader. Ken P.S. Also started getting a fair amount of bites on smaller fish dead sticking them way out deep. 15 Quote
