3-31-20, Cedar

I went out to enjoy a short stogie and took the rod that George made me.

Started with an older (small) Rebel Fastrac since a couple of buddies had been catching some on small cranks. Nothing.

Changed to a jerk bait. Nothing.

Then I dug deep in my pocket and found a 5' ribbed purple worm with a blue curly tail. It was on a 1/16th (maybe smaller) ned head.

I felt the bump and set the hook on a nice 14-15"er!

Right before I cast I noticed the line had some chafing on it. Ah, who cares...I am only out here enjoying the stogie. When I lifted the fish, the line broke!

He gave me a nice tussle on the ML rod.

Oh...it was chilly!

Well...I know a few that are close. No permission needed (but you have to tell them you are my guest if asked but that rarely happens).

I will take you up on that soon.  Need to get granddaughters out.  I love to fish for panfish too.

Looks like that may not be allowed.  Ugh.

Re: 3-31-20, Cedar

Went out and did a Curly! Fished in 20-30mph wind.

I could hardly feel the line but I did feel the bite! Caught a nice one (15" or so) on a old Bass Assassin green over white (specs) swim bait on a belly weighted swim hook.

Felt good.

Went to take a pic and realized that I did not have my phone.

Sweet!  Wind here has been unforgiving to get out in a boat since Wednesday and thru Friday.  Here is the lake this afternoon, but the pic does not do it justice with the raging white caps.
