Using up that vacation time!
« on: September 24, 2009, 08:55:08 AM »
Still got a bunch of vacation time that needs to get used up ( >:D), so I took yestarday afternoon off and hit a restricted, car-top-only lake in my kayak!  Mostly overcast skies and a light to moderate breeze for the time I was out there.  I began with a swim-jig in a sunfish pattern (green pumpkin with some white & orange).  I got 2 bass (3 bites total)  in about 2 hours with it before I switched up to a black & blue color which turned out to be a bit more productive.   Ended up with 9 bass on the day,...best 5 would've been 14-15lbs .  Biggest was 4.0.
Everything was on the jig,..nothing on a dropshot or swimbait which I also threw quite a bit!  Fish were about a 50/50 mix,...swimming the jig above shallow grass versus bottom bouncing around the outside weedline.   Water & fish both felt cool,...I'd guess around 65 degrees,..maybe a little less! 8)
If you're a fisherman, ya gotta fish!

Maybe TUBBY but not TUBEY. ;D

The Jig Man handle stays put until I get the count in the boat down below 500 and that will take several years of losing jigs. :-*
