Assunpink Bassin'
Went out Saturday morning and decided to check the Raritan for some trout even though i figured it would be flowing a bit too much and it was. Tried for a bit but it wasnt happening so I Made a run to my local puddle to try for some bass because it was so nice out but no luck. Woke up Sunday and decided i wanted some quality bass so I made a run to assunpink. Decided last minute so didnt bring the boat. Got there and there were a lottt of boats on the water. Had to be a couple dozen or more just at the start of morning. Hit my first spot and landed a fiesty chunk. I swear the bass at assunpink fight better than anyone else. Caught him on the black and blue jig with a black and blue rage tail. He weighed in at 2 and a half pounds. Was about another hour and couple spot moves before i landed my second. It had probably been a couple years since i last used a jig so I was getting my flow back, casted between some pads, 1 hop and got CRUSHEDD! Right off the bat she was wrapped. Started slowly making my way threw some pads for a better angle, pulling him threw pads as i went. Took a couple mins but to my surprise I made my way and landed her. Weighed in at 3 and half pounds..i had to do it 3 times because i could swear he was just as big if not atleast longer than my 5 pounder last year but she wasnt. Spent a little longer but nothing else. Couple of quality fish I will take every time over quantity. Came home and checked my scale with a weight just to make sure and unfortunately it was spot on haha. Hope you all enjoyed the couple of beautiful days. Tight lines!!
Bonus baby geese in the pads where i caught the big girl
