Took my tube out around 7am yesterday morning. Got out to the lake geared up with duel drop shots and started working the deeper water. Launched out of paradise cove, and worked towards tree point. Nothing going on there right now so i keep on moving north. As I'm getting to the swim beach i notice my damn tube is leaking air. DAMN! I thought i fixed that problem!
Well it was a really slow leak so i slowly kicked back switching one pole to a brown and red football jig with craw fish. Sucked because i wanted to work more shoreline on the beach side and then flip over to the east shore for a bit too. Oh well. I go to the rocks in paradise cove and then slowly work my way back to where my car was. When i get to the beach i toss out both poles and work the jig in and call the d/s as last cast and sure enough on that last cast with the oxblood d/s robo. Small fish but i took a few pics.
I left the lake around 11am.
Got back to the lake with my buddy around 9:30pm and the rain had stopped and the wind was dieing down. Fished at the point below the 2nd campground. I was getting hit like crazy there but for some reason i could not connect on any fish. I got one that took the hook but then jumped and spit the robo back at me. I got slammed 6 times and couldn't manage one damn bass. I felt like a rookie again grrrrr. Oh well we called it a night around 1:30am.
long day with only one fish to show for it. Oh well. Now i gotta fix the other small hole in my tube before the event on the 20th.
