What a great day at Spring Lake today. Started around 7:30 and didn’t get bit till around 9::00. I felt my rod load up just like a bunch of weeds and then the weeds started pulling. A nice 5 lb even bass. Three casts later another 5 pounder on the LV500 with the exact same mush bite. A couple of hours go by and I catch a 4. Another couple of hours and I catch a 3 something. They are making me work for it but their all quality fish. Then I catch about a 2. Go over to a weed edge and do some drop shotting. Catch my first dink of the day. Ten minutes later I land another 5 lb even on the drop shot. At about 3:00 I started heading for the dock feeling pretty good about my day . About 50 yards from the dock I get hammered but it comes off after about 30 seconds. It felt like a real nice one. I decide to stay out for a while longer . About 10 minutes later I get hammered again. I fight her for close to a minute and by now the people on shore are all watching me. I finally lip her and show her to the crowd. She weighed 8 lbs 12 ozs.. Very cool to have 10 to 15 people witness my catch. I had the whole lake to myself. Not one tuber out there. I never expected to do this well in late December.
