I had CherokeeRidge PM me and want to go fishing so we went out for a little while yesterday evening. With him a new member and new to the area I showed him around. The thing that got me was the first place we went about fifteen minutes into fishing a very nice bass took my pumkinseed chartruse tail worm and she was a 5 lber in a 4.25 body. Long and lean with a lot of head. Man,...I thought where was she when CCSM and I fished that same place for about an hour and that one would have got us into second.emoBang I guess it just wasn't meant to be. We got into some schoolers and that became interesting. Boat after boat and lots of waves but still every now and than they would bust. A few at a time would blow and we would catch a couple each time. Right at dark they went down and never resurfaced. When they start doing that you know it will not be long before the schoolers of the fall really start heating things up. CR is a good guy and we had a lot of fun and got to know each other. He lives right over by HBSP so he is easy to find. I enjoyed our trip there CR and we will get togather and do it again. We caught our deep fish on t-rigged worms and most of the schoolers on spooks with a couple on rattletraps. He took a picture of the 4 lber but don't know if he will be able to post it or send it to me.emoThumbsup Jmax

Thanks, I think it is a weird camera, makes me look fat and the bass look skinny.emoLaugh I would liketo have five just like her at the next tournament, five like that would win 99% of them this time of year.emoThumbsup

I am sure Davo regonizes the place, he always does, so keep that to yourself Davo.emoBigsmile

JMax... pretty sure you were on Hwy. 58 rocks Sunday evening. If so, that was me that honked at you in the black Ranger and silver G3. If it wasn't, some guy somewhere is wondering who was honking at him?
 
hey Jmax! I recognize that spot! I believe its the front deck of a certain ranger boat! OPPS!!emoSorry I wasn't supposed to say where you were at was I? Nice fish man. Glad you got it in and had a good day. CR must have been falling in the way you was a grinnin'..emoLaugh Shoot I would be smilin' too if I had one like that on!

Hey Jmax, good fish. If you had extended your arm all the way out like Beetlespin, you could have claimed a 7pounder.emoUpsmile emoUpsmile No offense, Beetlespin. You know that we love you.emoSmile emoGeezer
 
I'll be honest fella's, mine was out there pretty far too.emoBigsmile The real reason I had her out there was look at me. She had put water all over me and was very active. I had set down and lipped her, then just took her off the hook. She was swinging all over the place and I was trying to keep her out of my lap. I guess I should have used a net but I ususally don't when I am not in a Tx. I really thought she looked smaller in that picture but they usually grow a pound or two after you release them.emoCoolJmax
