After a busy day at work today, I was looking forward to getting out on the lake for a little sunset fishing trip. Luckily for me Kate was on the same page, so we cooked dinner (pasta with spicy sausage, broccoli and green pepper in a cheesy red sauce… yum!), then got the boat geared up, finally getting on the water around 7:45.
Kate started with a texas rigged junebug senko, and I started with a black and red texas rigged senko. After 15 minutes I landed a short largemouth, on a fast retrieve. Inspired by the fast moving strike I decided to tie on a yozuri banana boat, and work the topwater along our rocky shorelines. Kate changed to a double bladed white spinnerbait, working it fast near the surface. Both methods produced minimal results until about 8:30, when the topwater strike turned on.
For the next 30 minutes I had about 20 strikes and landed 8 or 9 fish, the biggest being around 2lbs. Kate had 3 or 4 strikes yielding one nice bass. The wind died down around 9 and the bugs started coming out so we called it a night. Not a bad way to spend the last hour of daylight if you ask me…
