All dinks but...

[Thefishy1]

Went out today with one of my christmas presents, a Pflueger Supreme. It was around 50 degrees with wind blowing to the east at around 5-10 mph. The water was muddy and cold but I decided to try anyway. I started with a texas rig yammy Kreature, and after about 20min without a bite I decided to try a spinnerbait and on the first cast one swirled on it right as I went to pull it out of the water. So I figured that they might be active, but not wanting something with too much flash so I tied on a shallow no7 shad rap and started seining the few stumps in the pond with it.

After a few casts near the stumps I realized that the shad rap acting funny, and after looking at it I figured out that the knot placement on the tie determines how the lure runs. After cinching the knot to the top of the tie, giving it a wider wobble I made one cast back by the stumps cranked it down two turns and BAM this one hit, I know that its not big but it broke in my new Supreme.

Congrats.

You did good!

Catching your first bass with your new set up is always a blast.  I caught a dink (13 inches) on Lake Gaston on the very first cast using my new Kistler rod.

Man, was I surprised.

Keep up the good work and sooner or later you will be posting pics of those lunkers.

Have a great New Year!

Dinks or not, it's always nice to be out on the lake.  It looks real pleasant where you fish.

Even dinks feel nice on a new reel. Well done!  8-)

It may look pleasant there when I took it but just a few hours before it was pouring down rain and will start again in a few hours and is not supposed to stop till Sunday, but I was glad for my few hours of nice weather in between
