First trip of the year

doc · 02-10-08, 02:45 PM

Had a great day Saturday fishing lake monticello in Arkansas. We got to the lake around noon, water temp was 52. Tried fishing Jin-n-Pigs to no avail. Around 1 we moved to secondary points and started throwing jerkbaits in 10-15 ft of water. I was using a bream colored rapala shad rap, and hooked up on a hog in about 10ft of water. After an awesome fight my buddy netted the fish. 10lbs 4 oz, 26 1/2 inches long.

Was a great way to start the 08 season, and I must say really set the fishing bug loose on me. I cant wait to get back to the water, and I hope the fishing will only get better. Snapped tha pic with the cell phone, Ill upload some better shots as soon as my buddy e-mails em to me.

Yes, and no. Not in the same body of water. Was released in a private pond, that gets little to no fishing pressure. (cept for me of course).

Well, at least it was released. Is the pond large enough to support a good populatuion?

Yes, large pond/small lake, in a private community. Lots of catfish, bream, and bass.
