TUBING CHERRY BEACH

[ATFISHING]

BEEN A WHILE SINCE I JUMPED ON THE TUBE, BEEN DOING THE BASS BOAT THING AS OF LATE. BUT HAD ABOUT 3-4HRS THIS MORNING TO FISH SO WENT DOWN TO CHERRY BEACH IN SEARCH OF THE BUTTS. DECIDED NOT TO MAKE BAIT AND FISH PLASTICS AND HARD BAITS SINCE TIME WAS LIMITED, GOOD DESICION OR NOT? . LAUNCH AROUND 7AM AND HEAD WEST TOWARDS GRISSOM. WATER TEMP IS 66. I START WITH THE JACKALL MASK 100 FOR ABOUT 20 MINS WITH ONLY 1 HIT, SWITCH TO THE DROP SHOT- BASSTRIX FAT MINNOW. ON ABOUT THE 3RD CAST....MY LINE GOES HEAVY AND STARTS TO MOVE TO THE LEFT. SET THE HOOK BENDO! FEELS BIG, TAKING LINE, 1 HEAD SHAKE.....2 HEAD SHAKE......SLACK LINE SHE CAME UNDONE, OH WELL THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED FISHING NOT CATCHING. ANYWAYS TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT ENDED UP GETTING ONE MORE SHORT BUTT AROUND 18" AND 1 SMALL BONITA. OUT OF THE WATER BY 11AM.

[cool][#0000ff]Always good to catch SOMETHING, even if it weren't a legal. Woulda been nice to at least see the monster munch. Probably a big Hal. You would likely have done better with bait, but the challenge is not the same. And, with limited time you can blow it all making bait.[/#0000ff]

Hey AT,

Good to hear from you. Sorry you didn't land that big guy. You know what happened, right? You stopped to take that picture of the bent rod. That will do it nearly every time. [cool]

Hope all is well with you and you get to do some more tubing soon. We enjoy your reports.
