river was pretty low, caught a few there with roostertail, nothing big, all bass - tried fly rod awhile & got nothing
went to a smaller pond lake & saw a fish about 2 ft long splashing in a shallow area - was too far to tell what kind
went to that spot and hooked something very big with the same roostertail, thought it was snagged until it started moving .. got very excited
but it spit the hook ... uggggggh ... was ticked, didnt even get to see it
had to get redemption for that one .. things slowed a bit then saw another larger fish makin waves around the shore - 1st cast & it hit - is the photo with net - was a little over 12" (was released)
-the roostertail was like skunk repellent - had 3 back to back skunks, now im fiending to catch some bigger fish there
-the huge fish i lost was hooked near a pile of sunk tree branches. At sunset fish were surfacing like crazy, there was a huge hatch of some kind of flying bug -. i saw lots of bigger fish near the shore hitting at the bugs.
-site fishing worked pretty good for these pits - I didnt see one mosquito either
