I said, "I bet he wasn't using Oxblood worms. We stopped and I nailed a 2 lb. 1st cast. Gregg2 got 1, then me again. After that it slowed so we went looking for woods that yielded last year at this time. The woods are big trees in 5 feet of water with branches hanging in the water and brush growing all over. We started nailing them right away. Soon I had 8 and Gregg2 had 4. These oxblood worms were to easily stripped from the hook and I rarely got more than 1 fish per worm.
I opened my tackle box to find some pure red Senkos slightly redder that oxblood. I took the Bassmaster Senko rod LK gave me and flipped it close to the brush. Fish on. 4 lb. 2 cast later I threw up by a tule clump. Fish on 5 lb. No juice in the camera, wouldn't turn on
. The 5 pounder was the biggest of the day but we were busy. I only had three red Senkos but they lasted all day and I still have one left. Gregg2 finally got tired of fishing his purple and put on an oxblood Sweet Beaver. Fish on. It seems as though it didn't matter what color you used as long as it was red.
I wish I had a red swim-bait. Swim-bait wasn't working today.I ended up with 14-15, Gregg2 ended up with 9-10. Beautiful day, slightly breezy - breezier as the day progressed. Fish from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Never seen the lake turn around so fast. The bigger fish appeared to be filling with eggs, a couple males had bloody tails. Just 2 weeks ago I couldn't buy a fish. Today it was so different.
My boys and I are dying to fish that pond ........ and BrothA Stock has an open invite awaiting us ~!!
