About a week ago I got a free pass from my bride to go on a little hike at Rockport towards the back bay that use to have a small picnic area. It is not a long walk from the new day use parking area at the end of the east side road but mostly straight up and down. I had some hope that a big PB smallie and a stringer of eating size perch might be hanging out back there.
I hit it hard with a drop shot and a ned rig and even a double dropper but did not find my PB. I did catch a bunch of smallies and perch but they were all small (4-7") . Not a keeper that morning.
I did have one really good bass take a craw jig off a point but my knot failed. Got a glimps. He was good. Good enough to be a new PB? Guess I will never know.
It was a nice bit of exercise and I got back before the heat got crazy.
No photos - I need to remember that.
