I decided to hit up the local park close to work to do a little bass fishing. This place is tiny and really shallow but have some bass in it. I caught a decent fish ( around 2 lbs ) on NewYear Day after spending a whole day trout fishing at Centennial park, so I decided to give it another try.
The day started out with a pretty dinker ( around 3/4 pound ) that hit a small jerkbait on a steady retrieve in about 2 foot of water. The next two hours I worked a drop shot rig the whole perimeter of the lake for nothing, but learned alot about about it 's depth and lack of structure. Ten minute later, I got hit hard, the line just zipped like a bonito taking off with a flylined anchovie. This fish was a good 30 yards out and felt decent. After a decent fight on 4lb line, some nice fisherman helped out and scooped up a healthy 2 pound bass. He also took the picture of the fish with my cell phone.
