fishnewb Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 hey guys, i appreciate the most excellent help on my "first 100 dollars help me build a newb kit" in the "fishing tackle" section. yesterday, i went to a pond on a church camp where my friends parent works. when i first got there i caught a tiny tiny bass on a bettle spinner. i didn't have much luck. then, a lady that worked there came up and said "hey, they drained this pretty low not too long ago." She was very helpful and suggested i head down to the small creek below, that there were a few holes deep enough to hold a bass. so i went down there. i had been creek fishing w/ others before a few times, but nothing this tight. so i got my shimano sedona spinning reel and slapped on a bleeding tube w/ a bullet weight weedless style. i swore i saw one right under a bridge...so i crawled down there and was only able to pitch like 5 feet out....so i slowly dragged...dragged. POP....pull...and yank....my first bass on my own....after going w/ others and seeing them weigh them...i looked to be about 1.25-1.5 lbs....so i went down a bit further and missed like 4 bass....(i wasn't beeing patient enough....) then i ended up catching another that was about 1.25 lbs it seemed...then before i left for the day...i went back to the bridge....by a down log...and plopped one in..i was reeling back and was like..dang ...i am hung....i reeled in a bit...and sure enough i had a bass! it was my first really like "good looking" bass i had of the day..it was a solid 2 lbs... needless to say i won't forget my trip....there was nothing like doing all my own lures..picking the right lures and having them work..and feel like i new what i was doing slightly. thanks for all your help guys!

Cravin Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 Sounded like alot of fun! Having a nice rod and reel seems to make fishing alot easier. as far as doing it all on your own...Good Job! Quote
