Got home a little early today and I had the itch for the bite, so I headed to Casitas. Arrived with like in water @ 6 PM. 1 Hour Turbo Sunset Fishin' Mission commence.
Went to what I THOUGHT was the "Homer Spot", and it turned out it wasn't. Ended up being a good spot anyhow...I'm calling it mayfly cove cause they were ALL OVER ME! In my hair, in my mouth, in my eyes, in my ears....it was horrible.
I Digress....
There about 10 mins, them tug...tug...BAM! Caught a nice little 3lber. He put up a G R E A T fight. Took me about 2~3 mins easy. Lets go this way..nope, I meant that way. Whoa I'm gonna take your line out to where you hooked me. It was awesome. Probably one of the best LMB Fights I have ever had.

He is a male. So if hes a 3lb male, and if I know my bass...he is a chubby chaser and there is a fat chick right around the corner.
Nothing for another 40 mins, then the sun dropped below the hills. I looked to my left (maybe the fish takes my bait when I'm not looking...I do that a lot...) and all i hear is SPPHSHSH SPLASH SPLAH SPHSHS.
1 or 2 decent fish (saw their mouths, looked chunky) were chasing small trout / baby bass OUT OF THE FRICKIN WATER. I RAN, not walked but RAN about 50 yards and did a Happy Gilmore style throwing cast. Literally 5 seconds after it lands BAM BAM BAM. Set the hook...line starts peeling off. Start to fight her and and wouldn't ya know, I get snagged on something. Line broke, eyes start to tear, whole 9 yards.
I rig up another one and cast it out about 30 ' to the right and 20' past the hook up spot. another 5 seconds BAM BAM BAM. Same Business...lost my rig. Drop shotting in that location is NOT recommended.
As I am riggin up another one, I hear that SpSHSHPS Splah sound again. And I see something CHASING a small water bird (black kind, looks like a duck) around. Bird fly's away. Silence. About 2 mins pass. Spaashh SPHSSPS PLOP. I look and Its like jaws was tearing through the water another 100 yards around the cove. I decide NOT to chase, and to pack it up and go home. It was getting dark, and I didn't want to get my car locked in the gates cause I don't know how strict Casitas is with their "Park is Closed" business.
Guess What this means....HALF DAY TOMORROW BWUUUHAHHAHAA!!.
Gonna head there around 3 is and drop shot till like 530 then start throwing senkos or small swimbaits. Meet up with me if you want to (PM me and I'll hook it up with a phone #)
Praying I land a fatty.
Tight Lines and Smelly Fingers everybody!!
