Thread: Quick hour trip

Ran down to the docks this morning for a quick hour to see what was happening.
When I got there I was shocked to have the place to myself .
That didn’t last , within fifteen minutes three different groups of fishers and a sun bather showed up.

I only took a single rod , a 5’2” SeaSir and Soare XR500 combo with 2# Ande .
Starting at the boat ramp , I was on the dock casting back toward the shallow water on the ramp and bam ! I got a bite , and the little SeaSir was bending to the handle and the Soare’s drag was peeling off line .
I worked myself back off the dock to the ramp hoping to keep the fish from going under the docks .
It took a few minutes working it back and forth across the ramp area to where I was finally able to beach a nice UL largemouth on the ramp and put my thumb in his mouth .
A good start !
I worked the right side of the docks between the dock and bank . It took a few minutes to realize the little gills were right on the bank . Probably trying to stay safe from the bedding bass I saw in the deeper sections .
I tried both my silicone leg jigs and the rabbit fur Tungsten jigs and the rabbit fur micros produced.
Ended up with eleven small gills and the one bass .
I was approached and asked twice what kind of “bait” I was using , as none of the others were having any luck .
I tried to explain how I had a system that worked for me including tackle and my jigs , but I don’t think they’ll be rushing out buying UL equipment.
Had to get out and scratch that itch .
