909, The ponds tonight.
Posted by , Tue Feb-20-01 10:50 PM
Did ok tonight. I actually caught that hawg again tonight, got it on a 5" junebug Robo zipper. Later started throwing a black and blue rattling jig 'n pig. Caught the hawgs cousin (was around 6lbs) in the other pond. That was sweet, not only did I have 2 big fish, but one was out of the pond I never get anything in. Though later on I did get a tiny one also. Had one that was 2ish out of pond #1 (my favorite one) also on the jig 'n pig. Dumped two, one I never saw, the other spit the hook while backflipping. This all took about 4 hrs, the last 1/2 hour was another first for me. Nearing the end I saw a small bass roll on something. I wasn't getting bit, so I changed to a Zara Puppy, black and chrome. Tossed it out and down from where I'd seen that fish roll. After a bit of twitching and waiting, I had #5 jump on. It took me totally by suprise, and fought a decent fight for it's size. It was maybe 1.5lbs. Tried for another 1/2 hour, but that was it. Fun, except for the 2 hrs straight that I didn't get any to shore.

Is there a Betty Ford for this kind of thing?

Ok, that's it, you're getting too good. Drop the bass rods and go back to Newport Harbor, right now. hehehe. Nice work.

Last night was a lot different than the last two nights. Though I only fished for 1 hour, I only had two bites. The second one I set the hook and wound up the worlds smallest bass. It was a whole 5", taken on a 4" Roboworm junebug zipper. Gotta love the zipper, though they're easier to love when they get big ones.

Topwater is sweet Wade. I would've gone high last night too if I had the time. Saw one jump right before I left.

Forget the Coke, crack or smack. Just give me a Topwater Whack.
They'd never get me to the Betty F(ish)ord.
The topwater hits can really be a HEART STOPPER, can't they.

Tight lines,
Wade
