My Earliest 5
Well I was able to get out on Ponki Friday 630am to 1pm. I used my canoe wheels to success for the first time. It made the haul in so much easier. The trip out wel,l they worked, but I did have to carry the heavy stuff up ahead of the canoe.
Any way, I was trying out a new jerk-bait and hoping to get some fish on the fball jig. I also was trying out a customized spinner-bait. I put a fluted gold Indiana blade on a small spinner-bait. Worked well as far as casting and vibration. But catching lol only 1. I got 2 pickles on the minus and one was a beast. I nailed giant sunnie on the jerk-bait.
Tried different trailers and sizes but could not get bit on the jig which was a disappointment. Given the time I put in
Well I had no success up tight but found the first break and as usually any rock/grass mix held fish. I loved this jerk-bait even before the big fish as it casts long and has a cool action. Before this RC I had only tossed huskys.
Do need tougher hooks as the big girl bent out some of the trebles she weighed 5lbs 9oz. This is my biggest Ponki bass as well as my biggest jerk-bait bass. Finally tally was 8 bass 7 pickles and sunnie.
Nice Job
