craigaria Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Hit the lake at 7:00 a.m. today. It was 27 degrees and calm. Our main goal of the day was to try and catch some shad with a cast net, and see if we could catch a few bass. With three throws of the net, we had probably 50- 3-5" shad and it was time to start fishing. I was throwing a shad rap too, and my line was freezing on the spool and on the rod guides. 2nd cast with the shad rap pulled in a nice 4 lb'er, and from then on it was time to catch fish!!! We ended up boating 28 fish. 26 bass and two crappie! We also missed at least 10 others due to broken line or them coming unbuttoned. Ryan met up with us around 12:00 and he boated many fish too, including the biggest bass, around 8 lbs! We had 5 fish over 7 lbs, 10 over 5 pounds, and a 2 lb crappie. Here are the pics!

Guest avid Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Excellent. Great photo of the shad. One look at that and you realize why the chrome/blue ratLtrap is probably the best hardbait ever designed for bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
