Time to have some fun!

Machinegun Cast spooled up and ready to go!

Tired...

Working in the a.m. sure takes its toll on you; benefits are that you're out early, cons are that you are sleepy during the day.

The day was great, nice and sunny outside, not too hot either. The wind was ruining the action though. Started with the Jackall Cover Craw 4" around the lake and alternating with the Jackall Giron. The Giron produced several followers but none committed, some fingerling even chased the Giron.

Met a friend who was fishing at the upper lake, and fished with the same pattern; the Cover Craw and Giron, and within a few minutes, there was a tap on the line. I set the hook (line cut my finger a bit, I need to make a habit to remove my finger from the line after a bite) and this feisty bass took me immediately to the weeds, the power of the Jackall Hyper Approach was enough to turn it away.

Fished about 2 hours more for nothing, but noticed again that the bass are busting up on the surface around the same time. I tried luring those surface busters with a Jackall Aragon SSR to produce a topwater bite. Nothing at all, there's always next time...

Tackle List:

Rod: Jackall Poison Heritage "Hyper Approach" HC-68MH

Reel: Shimano Chronarch 50Mg

Lure: Jackall Cover Craw 4"

Back Fishing!

Oh does it feel good to fish again. Jury Duty is over, and I now have time to spend on the little pond I call home. Today was a 2 fish day, and at this lake, thats an AWESOME day. A change of color on my flick shake did the trick. The first two hours I was throwing a junebug flick shake neko style for no bites, finally changed colors, took a rest on the bench since I worked at 5 a.m. Immediately after that, within 3 casts, there goes that all too familiar feeling. THUMP* I was hesitant to set the hook, but when I reeled in the slack and saw my line moving, I knew it was a fish!

This 2nd fish was just staring at the wall. Tossed the lure and shook it in front of her, she gulped it up and swam off, gave me a decent fight

Tackle List:
Rod: Jackall Poison Heritage "Master Stroke" HC-610MR
Reel: Shimano Core 100Mg
Lure: Jackall Flick Shake 5.8 "Neko Rig" Nail Weight

Jury Duty

Well Summer didn't start off as planned. CSULB is on break and the week after school got out, I got stuck on Jury Duty for a long and strenuous criminal case involving murder, sex, drugs, affairs, you name it. Three and a half weeks later, it's finally over. That can only mean one thing; FISHING!

Sad that I haven't fished in such a long period of time, but that hasn't stopped me from buying new stuff. Curado 300E is now in my arsenal to tackle those Largemouth Bass's cousins in the ocean, Calico Bass. I'm all spooled up with braid and just waiting on my rod, and a phone call from my uncle to get on the boat!

Other new items are the new Jackall Lures from Japan; Dragon Bug, and the HYD Geck (Maruhata Worm). Can't wait to fish these.

BTW these past few weeks, I have learned a lot. Here's a quote that can sum it up.

Here's a friend that will never let me down, truly Mans Best Friend:
