Starting June off right

Postby ReelYankee » Sun Jun 03, 2012 9:19 pm

Met up with Plasticpirogue Saturday morning just before sunrise. The conditions were slightly overcast with a little bit of wind. That really seemed to get the topwater bite going. My SK Rage Toad was the hot ticket until the sun came out.

After the topwater bite died down I switched to a new paddle tail swimbait that mcca78 suggested to me a while back. Thanks Mike! Those are great baits 8-)

Here's a bass in a ghillie suit :lol: I didn't even know he was on the hook until I tried to clear off the moss!

Here's Plasticpirogue with a hawg of a bass that wrapped him up on a stump. Image

And of course we stopped at the Cow Hole :mrgreen:

Ok, this has never happened to me before: While throwing a Trigger X ribbon tail worm, I got a hit so vicious it nearly ripped the rod out of my hands! :shock: I've had big bass and bowfin hammer spinnerbaits before but this was different, this bass acted like my worm just insulted his momma! I thought I had a 10#er on the line but it turned out to be this little chunk:

I wish they all hit and fought as hard as that one....

Adam, thanks again for the invite. It was a great morning that yielded about 10 or so bass, most good healthy chunks....can't wait for the next trip 8-)

Looks like a good trip, nice fish!

So how are you liking your commander over your ride 135?

So how are you liking your commander over your ride 135?

The model Ride I had is an outstanding fishing platform that is more versatile than the Commander. The Ride will handle rivers with rapids and salt water with ease. And the new Ride is slightly better in some ways...but here's the thing: I don't fish salt water or rivers. The Commander is just about as good as it gets for fishing bayous, swamps and lakes. I've demoed a bunch of kayaks and I think the Hobie PA (which is NOT a kayak) is the only other fishing platform out there that I would want to have over my Commander. Now the Commander is not the end all be all but for what I do, it's pretty much perfect.


All of this being said, don't be suprised to see a new Ride 135 in my garage this fall :roll: :lol:
