I was not able to leave the house this morning until 9:00 and decided to go to the rockpile. The piles are marked on my GPS. A rattletrap is a great bait to use fishing around the rocks because it doesn’t hang up much. I caught 2 small ones right off the bat on the closest pile to the bank. The third one was the best a good many years ago. Tried it second with a DT-10 but nothing doing so I went out to the outside pile where the water goes from 6 to 40 feet almost straight down. Hung one out there but it shook off. From there I went to the spot that was so good Tuesday but it was cursed. First a DT-14 got hung in a remnant of a net that had been hauled to the middle of the lake so I thought. I got it back with the lure retriever that hung in the net itself and was very hard to pull up. Thought I was going to have to pull it up with the boat but finally it gave and came up. I changed to a found Poe’s crankbait. After a couple of casts it hit the bottom and when I set the hook thinking it was a bite, the line broke. It broke at a place where I had a backlash brewing and didn’t know it, and the line buzzed on the reel when I cast and weakened the line. I had a new Poe’s that I put on. I was having so much bad luck I was not about to put on a good bait. The new bait would not run straight. Even after bending the eye a slight bit it would go off to the side. Next up was a digger 17, and surprisingly it caught a fish, I believe the first of its career. Shortly after catching the fish I looked up and my found Poe’s came swimming slowly by. It had a good length of line on it so I reached over and picked it up with the hooks on a DT-6. The line was draped across a cruising gar and it was just pulling it over to me. Felt like I won on that one. Couldn’t get another bite deep so I tried shallow with a rattletrap and caught some small ones here and there. I had to quit at 2:00 and I did. 7 bass for the day with no biggies.
