Randall Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 Went to a lake a little over a week ago only to find the gate closed to the ramp because of county employees at the lake needing to take a furlough day. :'( Drove over to the next county and found Lake Varner open and fish willing to open thier mouth. Lost count of the number of fish but here are the four largest. Three big hybrids between 7lb 8oz and nine pounds and a big bass. Two of the big hybrids hit a High Power Shad swimbait and one hit a lipless crank. The fish were caught anywhere from the surface all the way down to twenty five feet. We caught fish mostly on spoons, Red Rooster dropshot flies, lipless cranks, and swimbaits. Quote

Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted December 9, 2010 Super User Posted December 9, 2010 Makes me sick sometimes. Randall you've been catching some monsters this year. Way to go. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 9, 2010 Global Moderator Posted December 9, 2010 Nice fish! Those big wipers are such a fun fight and they will just crush a swimbait. Gets your hopes up at first until they start peeling off drag and you know it's not a bass. Quote
Fish Chris Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Wow ! Great trip ! I hear those hybrids fight like nothing else ! And that's a darn nice green one too ! Sounds like a really fun trip Peace, Fish Quote
Randall Posted December 11, 2010 Author Posted December 11, 2010 Thanks for the comments. The hybrids don't have the jumping and shaking ability of a bass but they have speed and power in a straight line pull. They will come a long way to get a swimbait too which makes them fun to catch on swimbaits. We probably had the most fun with the spoon and dropshot fish on light line. As soon as the hook was set the drag was screaming. Quote
