VAbass_slayer Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 went out with two of my buddies to a lake we had never fished today and got the surprise of our lives. between the three of us we caught over 40 bass. as soon as we got there i called my dad's best friend who grew up near the lake and asked where and what to fish, he said fish every blowdown you can find with a purple t-rigged worm. my buddy joey immediatly put on the purple worm and soon convinced me to put one on myself after he landed his 7th fish vs. my skunk. i fished with the worm for a while with a few hits but i was feeling confident about the XPS swimbait tied on my other rod. to make a long story short we caught over 40 fish, although only about 15 over 3 lbs. joey did end up catching the biggest one of the day at 7lb on the nose, matching his PB. all of the fish we caught today were caught on purple zoom magnum worms and 4.5" XPS swimbait baby bass pattern. average size for the day this size got annoying after three hours kodak moment biggest of the day 7lbs Quote
edbassmaster Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Awesome day!! That lake looks nice...you can see alot of submerged trees. Quote
Gotta Love It Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Looks like you guys had some fun catching those fish! Quote
VAbass_slayer Posted May 9, 2007 Author Posted May 9, 2007 yea we had a blast, the trees seemed to be the only place that consistantly held fish, every piece of woody cover had at least one fish on it, we fished some steep points and grass beds in 2-4 ft of water but they weren't near as productive as the blowdowns Quote
senko_77 Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Lol. I love how you say ONLY 15 were over 3lbs. That is an incredible day! I wouldn't be dissapointed at all Quote
VAbass_slayer Posted May 9, 2007 Author Posted May 9, 2007 Lol. I love how you say ONLY 15 were over 3lbs. That is an incredible day! I wouldn't be dissapointed at all oh it wasnt a disappointment, just several times i saw a large fish chasing my swimbait and out of nowhere a 12" fish would come out of nowhere and jump all over it before the bigger one would > lol.
