Mashes Sands 12-23-05

Post by wevans »

Left the ramp around 7, had the first keeper in the boat before 7:30 :-D 15 minutes later I had #2 in the box :thumbup: then they shut down. Trolled around that area a bit more, then pointed the bow toward the tower and trolled out to 50 foot, picked up 3 shorts and two Bass trolling out and back to my original spot. Trolled it again from 11 till 12:30 picking up another just barely legal gag, had something hit pull drag then cut me off, 1 new Magnum gone, tie on another and troll some more, the pole bends and the drag screams :o damn, must have hung bottom, nope, it's pulling back and HARD :-D after what seemed to be forever, I finally get to see it, a 30 inch gag :smt004 "my biggest yet" :thumbup: get him in the box and try for #5, go maybe 300 foot and the drag screams again, I'm excited now :-D but it don't pull back :cry: and try as I may, I left another NEW Magnum in this spot :smt011 it's past time for me to be heading home, so I write it off and head in. Water temp. was a steady 51, water was very clean with little grass, a heavy chop but not uncomfortable and I discovered that the Magnum's are a very good trolling lure :thumbup: :thumbup: I trolled a Stretch 30 on one rod and a Magnum on the other, the stretch caught only one of the fish :o and the Magnum cost only 8:95 apiece :thumbup: :thumbup: :beer:
Total of 7 gags caught, 4 keepers
two rock Bass, 1 keeper
and only 5 gallons of fuel burned :thumbup:
