DVL 5/8 A Shot of Gold
Hit the water and headed for our first spot. Early birds get the pigs and today was no different. Second cast and BAM rod goes bendo big time, line peels and the fight is on (haha, who says green carp don't fight). I knew she was a pig the second she hit as she nearly yanked my rod out of my hand. Got her to the boat and hung her from the scale, a 6 1/2lb fatty;
Got bit a couple more times on this spot but they weren't swallowing, although Bill my fishing partner stuck a 4 lber on a t-rig. So on down the bank we go. And this is where my day exploded. I knew that any day now the blade bite would blow wide open and today it did just that, at least for me. Didn't matter where on the lake we were I had fish hammering my blade with aggression and aplomb. All was going great until the 15th fish when this happened;
Notice the frayed skirt as well as the the busted wire? This blade was brand new until I tied it on this morning. The fish were just crushing this thing. Oh well, what's another 8 bucks eh? Pulled out the terminator blade and continued on sticking pigs all over the lake. As the end of the day neared I said to Bill let's finish the day on a spot that we do well at in the late afternoon. Arrived there and immediately stuck a couple more blade fish. When time was up and it was time to go, Bill began putting things away and I said one more cast and fired away -BAM- another one on. This was a particularly good fighter and when it was boated I saw why, gold scales and blood red eyes, a smallie indeed. I ended a great day on the Jewel with a shot of gold;
21 blade fish, one jig fish, and one t-rig fish for a total of 23 fish for me. Boat total was 26 fish for the day...
