FloatnFly Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 so my plan for this evening was fly fish for bass and pike, got down to the area i wanted to fish, too windy for fly fishing, after a few failed casts i brought out the bait caster, tried that fora bit, blew up the reel, got frustrated and went to my small spinning rod, after snagging up and having to retie a couple of times, i gave up, someone didn't want me fishing that spot, soi gave and grabbed my long spinning rod and a spoon, 3rd cast wham, fish on, landed this beauty, i now have dinner for a month! lol thats an 18" butchers steel for reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopheraaron Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Nice fish! I tried 3 hours of spoon chucking last night but bothing, one guy did get what looked to be about a 27" fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloatnFly Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 i think this one was chasing bait fish in close, stomach was packed full, and the eggs were small and very tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
