...great lead huh?
I took my reels to cabela's today so they could spool them for me. I always do it wrong when I do it myself so I bought some nice new trilene 6# and 12# mono for my 2 spirex 1000 and 4000 reels. I bought some new rapalas a couple of days ago and a couple new KVD 2.5 shallow runners for my heavier set up... So everything looked good, nice spooled line and I thought to myself "damn the wind, rain and clouds, I'm going fishing!!!!!" So I went over to Risely Reservoir and I felt like Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump battling the hurricane!! I really didn't have any issues with my heavier set up casting but my 6# set up, forget. I spent a half hour there and decided to stop at saulters pond on the way home, more trees around and I was able to cast better with my lighter line. I walked the shore and was nearing the opposite end of the flow over and I was using a rapala shallow orangey perch looking thing with a weird lip, it was step like... a nice cast, in the wind under some branches hanging over the water and caught a whopper! had to be 5 inches!!!! I changed lures and put on another rapala, firetige, maybe 3 inches long, more like a twitch or stick bait and proceded to cast into a tree!!! Yay!!! Lost lure... pisses me off.
That was my adventure...hopefully tomorrow after work it'll be nice enough to cast a few at batterson pond. |

The Rapala with the step like lip was probably a Shallow Shad Rap. I love those in Perch, which looks like a cross between Rapala's more realistic Yellow Perch and cartoonish Fire Tiger patterns.

Rapala Man agrees! The Shallow Shad Rap in Perch pattern has always been my #1 bass lure.
Firetiger pattern Rapala stick bait lures have been good to me this year. Original Floater, Husky Jerk, Flat Rap, and Clackin Minnow. |
