Lightninrod Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Back to basics today as nothing else got a bite so I T-rigged(weighted) a Zoom Trick Worm(black/grape) and caught 9 or 10 dinks then switched to a wacky-rigged Swimming Senko(5", color #222) and landed a 5 lber in the shallow end of my former boss's pond. Light breeze, 86 degrees, partly cloudy, mostly sunny, so both the Bass and I were a little warm. 5 lbs, 5 ozs, 24" Look out illegals Dan Quote
Deb Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Bet that was fun! What, no pics :-/. Congrats on a GOOD fish! Quote
George Welcome Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Dan, Next time out bring out the buzz bait. Hammered them today with it. Warm weather top water: gotta love it. Quote
JayW Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 Darn you and your private fish pond! LOL!!! Looks like you had fun as usual! You know, if you can find a way to fatten up those fish... next spawn you 'll be cathing some 10+ lb Bass with all the 24-25 inchers you've been catching! Quote
Lightninrod Posted June 17, 2007 Author Posted June 17, 2007 Thanks guys and gal. Nfm: Didn't you click on those two links? GW: I haven't thrown a buzzer in a year or more :-?. I'll give it a try soon. jay: Yes, they are still a little skinny but the owner is feeding the forage fish with pellets and adding shad so maybe they will fatten up soon . Dan Quote
ILfisherman Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 LOL, that second pic sure makes me proud to be an American! Nice bass. Also, what kind of reel is that? Looks like you switched from the Sol that I saw you used in a previous pic. Quote
Lightninrod Posted June 18, 2007 Author Posted June 18, 2007 GW: Threw a buzzer today and caught 4 or 5; the heaviest only being a 2/12(no pics) but it was surely fun. Il: That's a Daiwa/Megabass Ito JDM reel. They are rare and are not made anymore but can be bought on ebay or other places. I have more than one Daiwa . Dan Quote
