y0! Hit dat laydown!

[J Francho]

WNY Team Pro Snagger got out today for some windy weather bassin'.  Translation:  jfrancho, kittasou, and KaseV grab a rental tin can with an egg beater outboard, and try to fit in some fishing between screwing around and cracking jokes.

The moving bait/reaction bite that was on last week has really cooled down.  Kitta got into the first green fish with a jig.

The wind really started howling, so we ran around looking for some shelter.  Finally found a great drift using both a drift sock, and the see-ment anchor the tin can came with.  I proceeded to put on a pike clinic.  No baits of fingers were lost, though we all laughed hard when I reached in and grabbed a green pike right out of the water when it ran to the boat.  He took the trap deep, and I wanted it back, LOL.

I finally got my green fish on Mr. Pink's associate, Mr. Construction Cone.  It was an awesome sight, as the fish grabbed it on the last pause close to the boat.

A couple more bass in the boat, and Kase had to take off.  So, Kitta and I decided to check out an area that usually doesn't produce well, but it was so slow fishing, anything was worth a shot.

Take a look at this laydown, in less than a foot of slime green water:

I made an ill advised cast, using a medium/fast rod and 15 lb. CXX, propelling a T-rigged Power Worm into the secondary crown on the left, draping the line over two branches.  As soon as the rod settled, I knew I was bit, and thought, "Oh man, I've got set the hook, and try to get this fish over those two branches."  You can imagine how this went....suffice it to say, I got the fish, and Kitta got the shot:

All in all, I think we boated just six or seven green trout, a perch, and 1.75 northerns. :laugh:

Tough day, but given the company, totally worth it.
