Fat-G Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 Got the skunk off my back! Went today for about 2.5 hours. Started off slop fishing with a frog. First cast yielded a strike, no hookup. Same with the second and fifth. After that cooled down I moved to a different spot and threw a t-rigged Ika to no avail. Next spot with the frog, got a BIG blow up, waited a second, and set the hook. Apparently my P-Line CXX 15 lb. decided it was a good time to give out ;D Lost the only frog I brought that day. About an hour or so later, I pitched a Senko to a little rock pile and watched that all-too familiar "tick" in the line. This little guy went about half a pound. Normally I wouldn't post a picture of such a dink, but I just wanted everyone to believe that Fat-G CAN still catch a fish. ;D Great weather today. I think some of the fish are done spawning and recovering from the love fest. The bite should pick up in a few days. I can't wait to catch a big girl. Quote

brushhoggin Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 congrats. when all else fails...senko right? missin those frog hits would have killed me though! i like to feel the weight of the fish before i set the hook with frogs. also, using braid would increase your chances in a hook set, especially with hollow body frogs Quote
