Solo Mission 6/17....................................

[GetANet]

I had the itch that last night the bite was gonna be on so I decided to hit a different place than my usual night spot. When I got there I wondered if I made the right choice, sweating profusely and battling the insects. Not much happening for the better part of the evening. I kept myself amused by watching the fire flies twinkling like a light show and listening for some action. Few splashes here and there but the FF was lit up with bait and fish so I knew it was only hopefully a matter of time. Cast after cast nothing then finally the big orange moon came up and about one a.m. all hell broke loose! Bait bustin everywhere cannon balls flying!!! At one point I just stood there and looked around wondering where to cast next. Finally I had one swipe it at the boat but no hook up, cast,cast,cast change lures on and on and finally another fish on battling like a quality fish. As it neared the boat it made a power run straight down into the abyss and the hook pulls! Lucky there wasn't many people on the water cause the obsenities were flying! LOL Cast and cast and change it up and finally hook up with a nice fattie! Oh man I got the lure now I'm thinking and next cast launched it into the brush and donated it to the fish gods! Kept at it for a while but no more hook ups had a couple blow ups but it was so crazy and getting late that I finally waved the white flag and bailed about two thirty a.m. Home and in bed by three thirty and then off to work!
Heading back on friday for round two!!!! Tired and don't feel like spending a half hour posting the pic so u will just have to close your eyes and use your imagination!!! LOL

Prob doing this on my lunch break lol... We've got aspirations for success Fri night!

Good stuff, Dale. Way to hang in there and obtain info. Looking forward to tomorrow night. Hopefully we'll nail some of them drag rippers!

if you end up fishing herring during the spawn, its best to clip fins and make them swim funny. The problem w liveline is they go down, thats not where they usually get nailed u want them up top. My buddy fishes herring 12" from a tiny crappie bobber to keep em high, says it works. Also anthony fished last year one night w herring on a 3 way rig LH style to the bottom and got a dozen during the spawn that way. I wouldnt have thought it to work but sometimes switchin gears pays off, if the water isnt weedy maybe even a short downline off the corners, they will hit right at the boat no problem

[GetANet]

Thanks for the advice guys! I did some of them last year Rob gotta change out the hooks on the new lures! And I agree with you Jimmy about a short line off the corners of the boat I was about less than ten feet from shore and the fish were busting right at boat side all night! You know I love the Herring and if I can score some tomorrow I am going to try that while casting lures. I can see the mess already LMAO!! Lines tangled everrrrrrrrrry where! Drags screaming! tackle flying TOTAL BEDLAM!!!! Just like every weekend on the GetANet!!!! Just ask Jeremy!!!!
