I am going to post this afternoons report here for a couple of reasons, first off, a JDM rod was used and Panfish were pursued, but unfortunately the rod was SCHOOLED by a bunch of Bully Bass, the brown and green varieties. I have not been to the water in 15 days and with the full moon upon us I thought the local creek would be teeming with hungry Gills, so after supper it was off to the races with the Majorcraft Triple Cross and some buggy baits in tow. On my walk back to the creek headwaters I had a run in with a Honey Locust tree, trust me, no fun there. Upon arrival to my spot I found a nice crankbait, started the evening off right at least.
From the first cast to the last NO GILLS were stuck, felt, or seen. However, the Bass were stacked in the shallow moving waters like cord wood, literally. Here are several pictures of the offending critters in order that I caught them.
Found a chatterbait also, was rusty so I stuck it in my pocket to properly dispose of it in the garbage at home.
One of the Green Carp was pushing 3lbs with a 4lb head and mouth. After a break off from not retying I got Slimed!!
I caught a glimpse of that old Blue Slimer and was actually glad to donate a jig to him as he looked at least 5lbs. Next up, yep, more Bass.
Even after dark they were still thumping the small baits. Trout Magnets, Spade Grubs, EuroTackle Bugs, all tipped with a Wax worm worked well. All of this was fun for sure, I enjoyed my evening tremendously, but realized real quick I needed a lot more rod for the quarry encountered and caught this evening. I needed the Majorcraft X-Ride tonight to tame those tail walking Big Mouthed (and Small mouthed) Bullies. Just felt like the Triple Cross was going to snap at any minute with the larger Bass on the line. I know these rods can handle the larger fish with the proper drag settings and line choice, but this evening I felt like I needed a little more rod to battle with. Still learning!!
