Expensive Trip Tothe Well
So get back on the water after work and it is calm. So at 5:10pm I am off and after fishing half the cove with a buzzbait I put it down to fish a dock/lily pad area with an ocho. Got a tap but no fish. Swithced to my custom spinnerbait big blade 3/16 oz body. On the 4th cast snap....wtf my rod snapped at the stalk. Bummed and out 80 bucks I move on.
I fished an offshore hump from all sides and depths but no fish. Tried the rise between the main cove and the pond nothing there. Got to the quick dropping slope/grassline and wham!. Got 5lbs pickerel on a crankbait parralel to the line. In the process lost my pliers to the pond and found a crack in the spool of my reel.
Getting dark so I head back to the cove only to have my headlamp come apart. That was it tossed around some lillies with topwater and soft plastic but figured I spent enough for one trip lol. Off the water at 7:30pm. Lures: crankbait both shallow and mid depth,spinnerbait,buzzbait,frog,ocho and small swimbait.
