Fall fishing in full effect. I went out late last night after some gaming (WoW). I was so hyped up, I could not sleep. So I took my trusty mini swimbait out for a evening jaunt. I got a little dinker, about a 1lbs and got this guy, was 3lbs on the nose.
Also, second picture is the first fish on the Yamatanuki from Yamomoto. I just got them in the mail and happy to say, they do catch fish, even small ones. Only thing, they are not very durable. Even though its a thick heavy bait (5/8oz), it ripped up on 2 bites and 1 fish. Very slow presentation, almost like a texas rig (not swimming worm)....let it sink (slow sink btw, about a ft every 2s or so), pop it up and let it sink again. Eachtime they would bite it on the fall. I had 2 nice bites and 1 I got, the first one was a bite, but when i set the hook, was already out of his mouth.
Headwaters is going off in the right spots. The Spillway is off, even though there were a dozen or so people there. I am going back next weekend, bringing the new baits and see how we do. I want to go fish a tournament on Okeechobee with a friend of mine, really excited about that. Been practicing my technics and getting gear rigged up.
