7/8 Miramar DD

Post by Jrod »

Had a great day at Miramar yesterday. My buddy and I ended up with 30 fish total with a 4 and a 3.15# which we were pretty happy about. We lost 3 more that jumped at least once and were in that weight class. Also had a double hook-up which is always awesome! I can't remember a time when these fish fought so hard......even a 1.5# put up a hell of a fight.

My friend had to take off early so I spent some extra time looking for more fish. Ended up getting back on a bite towards the end of the day so after that died off I decided to pack up and leave a little early - like 6pm. Put everything away but wanted to try a spot we had some success at earlier so kept out 1 rod for a couple of casts. Glad I did.

Sorry for the foot pic but makes my size 15 look pretty small

Meant to include that all were caught on soft plastics. Tried maybe 10 other lures (jerk bait, Sammy, jack hammer, whopper plopper, mini-jig to name a few) with no bites other than on a small paddle tail SB tossed into a group of busting fish but it came unbuttoned.

Thank you Vinny. I am embarrassed by the number of times we have fished this lake with nothing over 3#s. Since last year we have had much better fish and much better fights. Hopefully the days of this being the lake of the clones is over. Always good to see your reports!!

Thank you Vito....I actually pulled up to the spot and got a 2.15, 2.25 then a 3.15 and I thought to myself that staying paid off and planned to leave again. Glad I didn't as the big one came a few casts later.
