-nick- Posted October 16, 2009 Posted October 16, 2009 Got my new 7in slammer and 6in punker today so I went out to give them a try. I was working them for a while and my arm got tired so i decided to see how deadsticking a slammer would work and while that was going on I'd fish with my 10in power worm i brought for follow ups. Well I caught this little dink on the power worm. So i kept fishing the punker and slammer and eventually saw something strike at the slammer but come up short. I just keep a steady retrieve and sure enough he came back and hit it! Not exactly the kind of first swimbait fish i was expecting but it was still exciting! (Yes, that is a black max strapped to my okuma swimbait rod! It's temporary...i get my cardiff 2m! ;D) Before it got dark a couple kids came walking down on the bank they looked maybe middle school or freshman in high school. Anyways, one was like woah, look at those lures. He was like...those are way too big, theres not even anything in this lake big enough to eat those : I wish i would've been a little closer to give that kid some insight on what a lmb can eat! After it got dark I was fishing the slammer and it was about 10 or so feet away and something hit it but it startled me so i jerked it really quick :-[ I'm not sure if it was a follower that just decided to strike before it got too shallow or if it was a dink either way, a missed fish is a missed fish > Another side note...I was expecting my new jsj snack size floater to come 2m or saturday so i didn't even check the mail. Come home from fishing only to realize it had been sitting in my mailbox all day! I could've used it when i went fishing i was pretty upset but thats what happens when shippers are too cheap to use delivery confirmation! I guess I'll have to get up early and test this bad boy out in the morning! 8-) Quote

Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted October 16, 2009 Super User Posted October 16, 2009 Glad to see you got bit on the swimbaits. You'll really like that JSJ floater, especially if you can find a school busting on the top. Great choice of color on the slammer too. Cant ever go wrong with black. Quote

If you start posting alot of huge catches on those things I'll finally break down and get one Mottfia Haha it definately won't be a lot but hopefully I'll be able to throw some up there before fall ends! And the thing is even with me not getting many catches, it's still exciting just fishing them Quote
