One Sock Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Recently returned from pennsylvania for a week's long of fishing with friends and visiting family. The week was great camping right on the lake and fishing 4 different lakes that week including some old favorites. Prior to leaving I had poured a ton of baits to bring and used almost all of them up. It was good setting a hook so often my arms hurt. There is no greater satisfaction then pouring your own baits and catching fish, except maybe watching others catch fish with your baits. the green pumpkin candy and baby bass laminates were really popular with the smallies and largemouth alike. here is a picture of one of the bigger fish from the wek that included 90+ bass:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallie Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Nice, healthy looking fish. From the looks of your wet shirt, it was fighting till the end too. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Sock Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 That fish was a beast and barely made it to the boat as my little 2/0 octopus hook fell out of it's mouth as it was lipped. The 10 lb yozuri held up well. I also use a shimano scorpion reel, one of the best reels I have ever fished with for the money Here is a picture of another fish my friend took on a bleeding junebug stickbait i make. This fish was taken about an hour after the tournament on a differnt lake within a 1/2 mile of the other lake. It was one of about 10 fish we took in about 35-40 minutes. I just love vacation, especially when the bite is on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome back, though I bet your mind is still casting @ lilly pads Yeah, it's been in the high 90's out here in ohio, my friend in Pa says the bass are in full swing attacking anything that moves..... high is 70-80 degrees during the day and high 50's to low 60's at night. I miss those temps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint308 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 I just got out of my car at 9:00 central time and it was reading 98*. I tried to mow my yard today and I had to stop three times to come inside and drink powerade (my yard is not that big). It is down right miserable down here. Saint.
