Another Friday Afternoon at the Reservoir

[BigBassin144]

After an 8 AM chemistry lecture followed by a four hour chemistry lab, going fishing has been the best part of my past few Fridays. So I hit up the local reservoir again today.

Today, the weather was gorgeous, overcast and not quite 60*. With the light wind, it was perfect spinnerbait weather. However, I hadn't brought my spinnerbaits. So I tied on a crankbait and after a few casts, I noticed the H2O square bill was missing it's bill... Apparently, I'm tough on crankbaits.

My H2O pretending to be a Rapala DT.


After a while, I looked in the back cup holder of my truck to find ONE spinnerbait (see, being to lazy to put them away pays off once in while!). a 3/16oz SK KVD Series in Bluegill. I personally would have preferred a Sexy Shad, but it would have to do. After a while of not getting anything on it, I had my first backlash for the day. After picking it out and reeling up the slack, I swept the rod up to get the spinnerbait off the bottom and felt it in the weeds. I reeled down and snapped my rod up to get the weeds off, only to realize I had just set the hook on a fish.

Got him in just as the only other guy there was driving right by me. perfect timing, lol. While talking to him, I forgot to snap a pic.

Not long after, the wind completely died and the sun came out... no more spinnerbaits, lol. Switched over to a t-rigged worm. The Junebug Trigger-X worms from my Secret Santa in July. I hooked up with one fish one of those before I had to go.



More then anything, it feels good to get out and relax after a long week of school. But catching a couple fish is even better!
