Bushwackin' Tube Bassin'

[tacklejunkie]

First few bass of the year. Couldn't get them on shore. Came back with the tube.
Took advantage of the moon, the breeze and the storm front. Hit them at (close to) the right time.
Did some bushwacking to get to these fish. Giant banana spiders and all..
Hence my particulate matter coating in the photos. :EyePop: I felt like shake and bake. :LOL:
The tules was thick and tall. The pattern was dark with a loooong tag. Fish were hugging. Weedless was key. Finally produced a dink!

This one got it on the bottom inside the mouth. Not too bad, he made it off fine and the blood was minimal.

Felt good to get out. No reactions though.
Great day on the water regardless. Lots of work and new things learned.
Enjoy the pics.

Atta boy, TJ!

Long time no see (pics of bass) from you.

Catch a few bass, catch the bass bug, find the tackle isle catching you!
Spent $$$ in tackle the day after those fish getting ready for later in the season lol.

I need to get a gf on some fish while the getting is easy and save my attack for warm water.
