Richard, Hal, and Harley

Richard, Hal, and Harley went fishing Monday afternoon and again Tuesday morning.  We caught 38 bass in all, 19 Monday and 18 Tuesday. Very few were under 3 pounds. Richard was the FOD man both days, this one was 5 1/2 pounds on Tuesday. richard-cheek-002Most were caught on a Bass Magic 4 1/2 inch swimbait. Some Monday hit a Ribbit frog but none on Tuesday.  The fish were not concentrated and we had to fish a lot of different areas to catch the ones we did.  Most were in water 5 to 8 feet deep.This is an old photo of the Bass Magic where I tried to use a trailer hook. It destroyed the action too much and would not have worked on this trip because of all the timber. I include it to show one and how to rig it. I now rig it with a Gamakatsu  5/0 widegap hook with 1/4 oz of weight on the shank.trailer-hook1 We had great time.

    Looks like Harley’s addition comes up short, but from the pictures the trip look’s like it added up to a great time. Considering the rain we have gotten in the last two days – I would say it was a huge sucess!!!

    The baits you brought were a lifesaver. Most of our fish were caught on the Bass Magic. At the end of the trip that’s what everybody had tied on.
