Lake Hodges- Double Dipping!
Posted: Tue Apr 23, 2024 8:42 pm
Hey all I hope the lines are tight,
Headed out last Saturday to Lake Hodges. Met up with Early Release at the launch and immediately got fish right out of the gate. I got one on the spinner bait and immediately following that as you probably already know he got a 4 lbs. 12 oz. Beauty on a Popper. We ended up going our separate ways for a while and I ended up getting one on the jig missing one on a CD five Rapala and then getting one on the DT 16 Rapala. Nothing giant, but fun fish. I ended up scoring a nice black crappie on my strike king bitsy bug And then got several more fish on jigs later on. I tried multiple areas with hit And miss success. I ended up leaving the lake around 1130 because I had to head off to work.
While at work, I was thinking about fishing and decided to head back in the afternoon for a two hour session literally. I got done with work around 4:30 PM and was back on the lake by 5 PM. I figured I would make a video challenging myself With two hours two beers and see how many Bass I could catch in that amount of time. I did end up hooking up to multiple Bass, but I challenge you to guess how many bass I would catch in those two hours at the end of the day before the lake closed . It was fun to set a challenge for myself with limitations and make it happen. I’ll tell you the biggest fish was around 4 pounds.
If you feel like checking out the video I think it was a pretty fun time. The beers were great. The lake was wonderful And yes, I am working on the noise cancellation part for the wind. Since I’m going to Barrett soon, I know that is always an issue there.
The time I had with Early Release was fun for sure. I’m hoping to make another video soon from that footage, but I had some technical issues with the recording. Cheers and I look forward to seeing you on the water.
2 Hours 2 Beers How Many Fish?!
