Oakley Big Bass This Weekend On Table Rock

It reminds me of when I was a kid fishing the Little Red and we were catching lots of good trout. When the passers-by would ask "what are you using" my stepdad would always say "chartreuse spinnerbaits."

Well, I personally didn't do buptkis this weekend :-)

Had a great time as always.

I'm new to posting pictures, but I'll try to add on here (in order):

The Rod for the first 100 entrants (this year's design is sweet! - Handle first, then full rod pic second)

The only little lady that was even close enough for me to think about keeping this weeknd (a pretty 17" gal)

But, after thinking about it for a bout a minute, I left her in my bubble bath, and put her back right where I got here :-)

All in all, it was a great time as usual - I just couldn't get a big girl (as usual)!!

Saturday and Sunday were spent around Indian Point (I think the two branches are Indian and Little Indian?)

Saturday - Had fun catching them on top the first couple of hours (I prefer the Paycheck Lures "Repo Man") - then switched to flpping what brush I could find - pulled a couple off of a bed (just for practice - they were put right back on the beds - all small males). Caught 3 dozen in all.

Sunday - The top water action started fast and heavy again, but I only got one to hit in the first 90 minutes of action - they would hammer the bait, but not eat it. I switched sizes, colors, you-name-it, and didn't have any luck. Around 9:30 or so, as I was making my way down a shoreline stretch of about 150 yards - I looked over and notice what appeared to be a 21"-23" lady still on the bed. I cruised by her, and (I thought I was being so smart) beched the boat - to fish her out of the back of the boat!!!! When I finally gave up on her, I noticed that it was 1:00 p.m.!!! Talk about intense - I literally never would have dreamed it had been more than 10 minutes or so. After that, I just messed around until the day was finished.

All in all - it was a GREAT weekend!
