    Default My Crappie trip was ruined!!!!!!!!


    by bass!

    I am posting this as a follow up to my Float n Fly post last week.....
    I got 'em wet.

    Technique: not so Float n Fly
    Rod: Dobyn's Champion 681 SF
    Reel: Shimano Sahara 1000FI
    Line: InvizX 6lb
    Bait: 1/8oz bass colored Float n Fly jig

    I was casting this jig without the float to the current breaks where all along this crystal clear river the fish stack up like cordwood. I started out sight fishing them but they hit them aggressively so I didn't need to sight fish, they hit them hard.


    This guy was the first to introduce himself to my home made jig.




    First decent one of the day


    and another



    and ........lunker.

    In all, I caught 43 bass today, pretty typical day for me on this river. About half came on the F+F, the rest were on a drop shot and a few on a wacky Senko. I caught this guy too......I do not know my sunfish....I think it is a red breast crappie? (j/k)

    That looks like fun. Hadn't been on the Rainbow since I was a kid. Caught a few bass there but never caught nor seen a speck. Do they still have the "no disposables" rule there?

    Yep and they check it very closely, at least on weekends when we have been there. Great law I think.
