cutbait

Planned on heading out before work on 8-6 around 0300. Told TB about my plans, and he insisted we hit it together!
So plans change to meet up around 8 pm. Talked with GLTFTS and got his juices worked up and insisted on joining in. So plans changed for a third time. Split up and meet around midnight.
I stop by the gas station to pick up some chovies, thought I would need something to kill the edge from fishing with these two all night. The bickering between these two about who is the "duct alpha male" can wear on a guy, so the unspoken, yet well known rivalry between us three was in full force last night
Anyway I arrived first spot at 1830 and was 98 degrees. Typical Bako duct evening

I rig up a bait rod while I jigged a fluke.. Nothing for 1.5 hrs.. Had to give up the bait because of the moss conditions.
TB called and was on his way, so I pick up and move to another location for 30 mins. NOTHING.
We meet up and I jump in the truck with TB. We roll up to our favorite spot to find 7 guys fishing. We decide to walk up and shoot the bull and walk around to the other side. Guys were cool and let us jump right in with them. They were baitn down and had no luck. TB and I were throwing KPNs and Lucky crafts.
BOOM, TB hooks up on first cast
BOOM, Cutbait hooks up on 5th cast
Got a pic message from FTS right at the same time. He got one at another spot
Next thing we know we got 3 guys on our backs chunking their 4 oz pyramids with choves right in front of us.
Its cool though, I mean they shared their spot with us. We fish for 30 mins more or so and BAM, cutbaits on again. Limit baby!
As I was walking away from the zone to unhook my fish I catch a glimpse of some fish under a light near the moss line. I strain to see what the were,,,,,, OH YEAH!!!! CARP baby...
Good thing I ALWAYS keep a slice of bread with me. {you just never know} I ended up fly lining small balls of bread on the edge of the weed line absolutely slaying the carp. It was WFO,, I kept waitn for that toad, but he never showed up. Only dink carp..

Easy limits!

One of the groups of guys fishing had his two boys, 5-8 yr olds with him and those boys were so happy to see the fish that TB and I just let those boys have them to take to mom. Besides, it just felt like the right thing to do.
So TB and I wrap up and TB has to split, so I meet up with FTS just as he pluckes a fish out on his third cast and had 3 hook ups on his next 5 casts {SIR FARMSALOT}. Fished for about an hour with 2-3 more tags, but no hookups. Limits all around, with some bonus fish. TO would be proud.

All mine, and Gary's came on KPN. TB got his on Lucky Craft. Moss was bad in spots, and very fishable in others. Move around and find something that can work for ya!
Duct Alpha male results
TB-2 {first}
FTS-2 {largest and smallest}
CB-2 {with tons of beautiful carp.}
So winner by decision....... CUTBAIT!!!
Had fun fishing with ya boys!
