Fishing Rods

Started at 10 AM; sunny, warm(got up to th5 80s at 3 PM when I left), windy, clouds, and clear water there today.

It was all soft-plastics today; Fish-n-Fool's baits and GY's Senkos and Ikas, all T-rigged weightless. No jig bites or any others as I was finding them up near the bank.

Two I'd caught before because they had my 'tag', a hole in their lower jaw's membrane. The last catch/pic was really hungry as it had one of my hooks in its gill plate and still grabbed an Ika. It tied me up on an underwater limb as did one or two others. I worked my paddle around the limb, trying to break the limb but ended up snagging my hook from the Ika in the paddle and finally, after 5 minutes of tugging, brought the Bass up with the 'hooked' paddle and then had to cut the line(Seaguar's CP, 100% fluro and you should have seen the abrasions it took without breaking) to get it free.

hey dan, nice fish. i was curious as to your location? always looks like you on good bodies of water.

TAJ: I'm in middle GA, near Warner Robins, Macon, Elko, and Marshallville. Those ponds are in and around that area. Once in a while, I get down to South GA near Tifton.

cool, im about 30 minutes south of nashville. im near Percy Priest, Center HIll, tims ford, woods reservoir and many good river spots. i still havent gotten a good steady bite up here but i know its just around the corner. ive been going nearly 4 days a week, and the rattle trap has been my best lure so far. good fishing to you
