"Bass Thumb" Day at DVL
Went out today at my favorite lake DVL.....Got to the lake at 8 AM. I took my (5) year old daughter and we had a blast. I caught countless numbers of 2-3 pound LMB in 0-25 feet. I even let my daughter reel in a few fish......Tired of catching small fish (Not complaining), I thought I would get serious and try to make my day one to remember. I fished a few secondary points and that's when I started catching some better fish. Carolina Rig (CR) and Texas Rig (TR) seemed to be the ticket. I fished up-hill, down-hill, and across the points and all methods produced fish. My best LMB was an 8 pounder. I can't believe how big the head was on this fish. If she had not dropped her eggs she would have been a DD easy. This is the time of year when you can catch fish from the skinny water to the deep (Pre-Spawn, Spawn, Post-Spawn) it's transition time...... I have been having good luck this week. This was my 3rd outing this week. Today was the best so far this week. I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to fish as DVL as much as I do. My thumb really got a work out today and its chewed up pretty good. I guess you can't really complain about "Bass Thumb".........I guess I will have to tape my thumb if I go fishing tomorrow. I caught several fish that were previously caught and released by other anglers. It's good to know that most DVL Bass Anglers release their fish to fight another day. We should all practice Catch and Release because we all like to get "Bass Thumb". All my fish were released too...... Until next time.....
