After two days of fireworks and family it was time to hit the water again! My daughter wanted to tag along so we left for the lake at about 6:15am.
Had to stop for some snacks at the gas station:
Was greeted by a beautiful lake at arrival... although the fish were tough to figure out arrived at 7am and didn't get the first bite until 9am. Fish were very active chasing bait, but I couldn't get them to bite anything and we threw the tackle box at em! Finally put on a 5" stick bait wacky style and it was on. Fished to 11am and I ended up with 5 and Taylor caught her first ever bass on a rubber bait!!
Lake when we launched:
First fish of the day:
Taylor's stick bait fish... her first I'm a proud dad :mrgreen: :
They started to get better:
Big one hit right before we packed up and headed back to the ramp about 10:50.... Taylor was so excited she wanted to hold it it too :lol: Just about 21" no weight as my scale batteries are dead come to find out. Was a fun fight on spinning rod w/ 8lb test:
Finally Taylor's reward for being such a trooper till we figured the fish out:
