Leonard Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 after work last night.. I decided to see if I couldnt hit the water for a bit (an hour or 2)..LOL... yeah right!! I got the about 11:30pm With a new pattern in the box (The HIBERNATOR) ... I headed to the flats.. 2 cast and the first fish was hooked up... 2 casts.. 2 strikes.... then 4 fish in a row.. back and forth.. missed some.. hooked some. within an hour I had 15+ fish... I decided that was enough and the rain was coming down.. As I turned around to head out.. I saw a car light.. well I head up and started to chat.. 3 young men get ready to face the night. well after talking to them for a few minutes, we decided since the water was off to head to the big hole.. within minutes all 4 of us was into fish and catching the pretty good... (Yes with the HIBERNATOR). most all the fish were FAT... very FAT.. full of fight.. and just a great time.. after it was all said and done.. around 3am... I had caught over 40 + fish Leonard http://www.taneycomonights.com
