Headed to a different spot this morning with hopes of bigger fish. Tried one side of the bridge with no luck, so I moved over to the creek side of it. When I was workin my way to the bank I saw a few blood worm containers which all looked empty, I picked em up and sifted thru em, one of them had 7 or 8 blood worms in it, I hadnt really planed on bait fishin but this was an omen (cuz Id have to driver about half an hour to get some then half an hour back) I put on a bottom rig I had left from yesterday, good thing I didnt clean out my bag, after about 5 minutes of soaking it got a hit, I set up and reeled in my first striper of the year he was about 9inches(i thought i took a pic but must have forgotten to save it oh well). After about an hour of bait fishin I hung up and lost the only rig I had out with me. So i started wadin out to where the shore normaly is, and castin my worms, got my first bass of the day on a purple/blue fleck 3/4senko. He was prob around 2lbs, but I didnt feel like goin back to shore for a pic. Not to long after that I picked up my crankin stick (which I had been bait fishin with) tied on an spro fat30 crank in a shad pattern. After about 20 casts an no bites I started thinkin it was time for a change but didnt really feel like wading the 6 or 7 feet back to shore, and my lazyness paided off big time. Got my biggest bass of the year(so far) if he was a pound he was five, prob over but Im not use to guesstimating fish this big. Had his mouth almost hooked shut and I got stuck in the finger while lippin him but id take a hook in the finger any day to get fish like this.
