#6075, "Lightning struck twice, the last week has been interest..."
|
Several days last week were perfect for bed fishing. Lots of large fish in the shallows, but I couldnt get anything over about 9. Well, the storm rolls in on Thursday, and by today (Saturday) its classic post front. I wake up around 1030 look outside and think Im not going fishing. But then I realized I had nothing better to do, so off I go.
Quick lap and find exactly what you would expect, shallows empty. So, I backed off and threw my new bait that has been backordered for almost six months. On about the 10th cast I hook up with a good one, but it comes unbuttoned. As time goes on that fish is really eating at me, but I just knew it wouldnt be the last (ya know how a bite is so right you just know your gonna catch fish?). Stick a 3 30 minutes later, then 10 minutes later get crunched. Up comes a rather distorted 11lb 1oz fatty. Im stoked, get some photos, let it go. Nothing for the next 3 hours, and the wind is howling. I was on my way back to the ramp, but just had to cast in this area I have been watching a big fish (its sniffing around some deep beds, but hasnt committed yet). Anchor up and cast out. I get one of those nibble nibble bites, then again, and then I more time. On the fourth I get slammed and rear back. This fish is hot and Im thinking I may have a teener. After a quick but good fight, I lipped a perfect 10lb 9oz chubby. And that was that, decided it was time to go have a beer.
Im still shocked I got two over ten on a butt nasty post front day like today. And BTW, both fish were ram packed with eggs, and the big one looked like it had a big trout stuffed sideways in its stomach.
