My son and his girl freind dragged me out of the house yesterday to go fishing at 2pm. We went to a place thats close to the car(i'm disabled). He set me up on a rock near the shoreline and off i went. I just wanted to maily practice and checkout my reels and line to make sure there all ok. Going in the dark or low light and finding out your equipment isn't working great is bad.

I threw most of my new lures just to see how to present them properly. Wearing polarized glasses i had one flash behind one lure. This place is stocked with trout but has average 3lb bass in it too. Since no one was there i could relax and take my time. As some of you guys remember me from the past i purchase most of the new lures just to try them out. Some of my older lures still look like new too. After trying many lures with no success i put on a discontinued Bomber FAT A 05 in red apple crawdad. And Bamm my first fish was a 10'' perch. I say this all the time the older stuff still works. And the color for that moment was redcraw. Even though i only caught one perch it was a great day just casting. Now i'm hooked again on fishing.......bass fishing.

glad you got a line in the water and caught a fish today. very nice of your son to take you out. thanks for all the helpful info you post as well.
