went to fairmount today and got there bout 2pm. I actually hooked 2 bass today! Im so excited!!! They didnt make it to shore but ive been fishing there for about a month now with not even so much as a bite.
I was texas rigging a watermelon green pumpkin robo and dragging it right along the edge of the shore, under the lip of the cement in the little cove with the tiny boat launch by the red building. Only like a foot from the waters edge. My first one I hooked was about a pound and a half and i fought but i went to flip it on the shore and it threw the hook :( I wish now i that i just grabbed it, but the ledge was a little high where i was standing.
The second one was out on the corner of the cove where it starts to curve towards the gazebo and all the palm trees are. I hooked it and the fight was on I got it close and it dove sideways and then next thing you know my line snaps :( I pretty sure it was due to the fact that i was dragging along that cement ridge and i was using fluoro and just fraying my line. But thats what i get for not checking my line after that first hook up.
Either way Im totally jazzed and im hoping I might be able to make it out there again tomorrow. Weathers been real nice, sunny with a breeze water pretty green but still a little murkey, not as clear as a few days ago. Im tellin ya fellas im gonna crack that lake and when i do im gonna share all my "secrets". Thanks to everyone who gave me advice! And to Joebass for pointing me in the right direction. If ya got any questions feel free to hit me up :) Until then happy fishing guys
