So got out there about 5pm on thursday.. setup camp and got fishing about 6:30pm. Did some waste deep wading and got a few hookups in the first hour using 4 1/4 inch candy corn stik-o's rigged weedless. 1-2 pounders mostly and a couple really small ones. Took a nap and when the wind died down at night got out on the water in the inflateable and did some night fishing. Man the night fishing was insane.. changed worm colors to black and purple flake and upped sizes.. Got hooked on 2 really nice fish right away..both snapped my line..I dont know if you guys have ever tried spiderwire xxx mono, but if you havent.. stay away from this line.. I was using 12lb test and it was ultra weak... I tie really good knots and every knot with a decent amount of pull on it was snapping at the hook... enought ranting.. Got back to shore to switch rods. Grabbed my baitcaster with spiderwire ultracast fluoro and got back on the water. Hooked up on 5 or so decent bass all over 3lbs. I think the big ones come out at night haha. Had to keep the bigger one in the pictures cuz I snagged his gill bad...On friday the fishing slowed down. Was catching fish at about 1 an hour, so I switched up to bluegill. I could have easily caught my limit if it did not get so windy. Caught about 30 in an hour that were really decent sized and headed back to shore. Overall a good day. Got about 7 lbs of bluegill filets to fry up!
