4/8-You guessed it....Murray

Post by VinnyBass »

Just for today..... I am going to save you guys from reading me babbling on and on.
So here are a few pics of some fish I caught in (McFish will be shocked again) water depths
around 25-35 feet of water.
Hopefully the warmer weather will spur up more action in closer. Tight lines :-)

Spoon (How have these trout not got eaten yet?)

On a spoon? I will never tell. :-)

Yeah, that one fish I’m pretty sure was blind in
one eye and I caught it pretty close to the bottom, so I guess I was lucky she was able to see that Damiki rig. :-)

Looks like most of them were hooked on the left side of their mouths. Must be the killer hookset technique.=)

Actually the Damiki bait fell out of the blind eye bass when I landed him in the boat so I just hung it there for the pic. I hold bass
with my right hand when I take a pic and hold the top part of a guitar stand I adapted as my selfie stick with my left hand. I often
for the sake of the photos I post, have many times hung the bait I used on that side just for the photo.
Good eyes..... as I never really thought about it. :-)

I imagine your really long arms are very helpful when you get in and out
of your float tube and landing bass.......

That's one hell of a way to lip a bass. You loose less of them too, since you don't have to get them close to the boat=)

Vinny what kind of spoons are you throwing and how big, You seem to be the only angler using then out here.

I pm'd you....but basically I vary from 1/8 oz, 1/4oz,3/8oz to a 1/2oz spoon.
Sounds weird but I try different sizes often(I dedicate 2 rods just for spoons)
I have been messing around with a 3rd rod with heavier line and big flutter spoons recently.
I had a bass come off about a month ago but have not landed a bass yet on them.

I am more afraid of dolls. I know that some of them come alive at night.
Thank goodness dolls don't go fishing.

I should have used the word "lure"in that sentence, instead of "hung the bait"...ha ha
