Bassin at (shhh) the wash 7/20/11

Man, the wash is brimmed with happy hungry bass. Here's some of the hoglets I yielded from a evenings work! I highly recommend scoping the place out

And this poor guy! I was tossing jigs into the current to float under this tree that bent over the water - When I did I kept hearing a lot of thrashing and thought it was some active carp - well the sound stayed steady for a while, so I took a peak from a different angle and saw this guy struggling in the branches. I swore I wouldn't get in the dirty-bandaid-drano-piss-hobo-gunther-water, BUT! I had to. When I got to him he had a popper (a nice one, kept it) pinning his beak shut, and hooking his head wing to his foot. I pulled him out, free'd him and he flew across the water to safety. Success! Looked like he'd been there a while, the hooks were rusty....but he's good now.

You no doubt saved that hen from either being eaten or starving to death.
I commend you for intervening and helping out a feathered friend!

Crikey [cool] you seem to always slay em at the wash. I access through old las vegas boat harbor and hike towards the lake. Where do you access it from ? I understand if you don't want to divulge any secrets.

haha thanks everyone, it felt pretty good helpin out - I also lost a spinner bait that trip so it was good gettin a new lure! Btw, what are the regs on fishing the wash? I guess it actually the wetlands, I was fishing the area that feeds lake las vegas. I don't see any signs or anything - anyone know?
