Morning bassin

Post by tomnilll »

Back to the camp lake this time in the morning. Made the mistake of taking a work call while fishing and of course got bit. Set the hook and it was a giant, tried to be calm and was mostly successful. Fought her for a minute or so, she stayed down and took some line...then came up to say hi, jumped and spit my jig out of the biggest trashcan mouth I've seen in a bit and swam off giggling.

Then pulled a few out of the tulles

As an aside I am worried about the smallish hooks on all the jigs I am using...should I be?

Regarding the jigs....I remember missing bass when flippin a jig that had small hooks and then my hook up ratio went up immediately when I used a jig with a bigger hook. If you are catching bass with small hooks then just keep on doing what you are doing.....I was just giving you my 2 cents on hook sizes on a jig.
Tight lines. :-)

I know you can kayak, not sure about float tube. Boats are allowed too.
