Mattlures Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 I was feeling cooped up and I had to go releive some stress. I went to a pond that I used to go to years ago. I was hoping it wasnt dried up. It was actualy flooded so I had a good feeling. The pond is next to a golf course but not on it so its accessable without tresspassing. Anyways I started out throwning my floating swimbait for no love. Then I tried a buzzer for a while. Still no bites. Then I drug a worm for a while and caught 2 monsters. Both times I thought I had a decent bass but I wasnt complaining when I saw the size of them. I weighed the redear and it was just shy of 2lbs. The bluegill was probably 1.5lbs The U2 next to the red ear and bluegill is for size comparison. I drug the worm for a while longer with no more bites so I decided to throw my sinking swimbait. Well I couldnt see very good tonight because it was realy dark and I ended up loosing my little gill deep in the reeds. So I tied the floater back on and I was rewarded with a decent one. Quote
Big-O Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 WTG Matt, Looks like the bass kinda wanted your little gill huh! Stay after'em Big O www.ragetail.com Quote
Mattlures Posted May 9, 2011 Author Posted May 9, 2011 The bait is prety small as far as swimbait go so they have no problem eating it. The gill and redear were a nice suprises Quote
hookingem Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 did you clip the top hook completely off and add a treble to the u2? Quote
Mattlures Posted May 10, 2011 Author Posted May 10, 2011 yes but that one is a floating version and thats how they come Quote
zach t Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Man, that fish DESTROYED it! I had a few on Guntersville 2 weeks ago eat my swimbaits like that. Terrific feeling! Quote
