Once again, I went to my local park to indulge in some bass fishing. It 's just so easy and I can't stop. Started a little later today, around 7:45 or so. The water is still murky at around 10 inches of visibility, so I opted for the red eye shad, just because KVD uses it.
After 30 minutes, I got slammed 5 feet from shore by a plump 1 pounder. He jumped instantly and scared the crap out of these two ladies walking by. Casting parallel to the same shoreline, I got slammed again by a slightly better fish. About 15 feet away, at also 5 feet from shore.
After these first two fish, it went dead for the next hour. I switched over to a junebug colored senko and walked over to a spot where the waterfall dumps into the lake. First cast, on the sink, I felt a twich and eventually the weight of the fish. Set the hook and quickly landed another fat 1 pounder. Repeat the process, got bit again instantly and landed a 2 pounder. That this time, I wished I had taken some pictures for the fish porn. But I figured that people seen plenty of 1 to 2 pound bass, plus I really didn't planned on doing a report.
Then nothing for the next 30 minutes. At this time, a friend arrived and he started throwing a lucky craft crankbait. I briefly said hi and did a complete cirle of the lake for nothing. I was getting hungry and cold so I decided to give spend the last few minutes at the spot where the watefall dumps into the lake. Once again, first cast, on the sink, I feel the take. Gave it a 1 sec ( make sure he 's got it in this murky water ) wait, then swung hard. After a pretty decent fight with some drag pulling on 10 pound line, my friend Seth helped out, lipping a freaking phat spawner. I posted the picture of that fish below. The picture is bad because of the lack of proper lighting but you can see the basic shape and size of the fish.
