Today's lesson , never give up !
I had orig planned a 1/2 day trip but plans fell through, which is kind of good because i had very limited time today due to tractor issues yesterday put me way behind on projects at home. So i figured a few quick hours is better than not going at all.
Action was really good right off the bat and the 1st hour i had 3 bass and 3 pickerle in the boat (i didn't really want the pickerele) but they were insane and i could not keep them off the hook.
They destroyed a number of my toads !
Here are few avg guys ...
Stuck with the froggin since action was good, even tried this secret weapon that Mr Jigs told me about at JJ ...
I had 2 nice blow ups on it but missed them. This franken-lure has some great action and 100% weedless in the slop. Plus it cast a mile !! Thanks Jigs !!!
Action really got slow after that 1st hour , i really thought i was going to find a pig on the frog.
As i made my way back to the launch i had one spot let to try , but rather that the frog i picked up the jig rod. Good choice !
Instantly i picked up 2 shorts and thought, cool good way to finish. Knowing i was already later than planned i was happy but really wanted a pig. So the story goes ... just a couple more cast ... you know where i am going with this right !!!
BINGO !!!! This pig really wanted the jig ... i stuggled with the self timer, but look at the girth ...
5lb 1oz , but only 19" long !! What an oinker !!!
That really but the icing on the cake for me !!!
Now i really need to get back to work LOL
