05/30/2007 - Local Bass Fishing



Quick little bass fishing trip report from tonight.

Just wanted to get out for an hour after work, which turned into a couple of hours.

Wound up landing 6 bass, nothing huge...biggest one was around 2 pounds or so.

I lost at least 3 bigger ones and missed a bunch...one of which felt uber heavy and broke my line.


This leads me to my next question...I'm fishing Crystal Fireline 3#/8# with a 10# Vanish fluoro leader.

That is twice now that the Vanish has broken on a hookset.  Seems like when I set too light, I'm losing fish (bigger ones) and when I set too hard I'm breaking...hell this sounds like my flyfishing issues from a few weeks back!  Haha


So what do you all use for main line and leader for bass?


Anyway, here's a few pics...funny...they all look the same...same angle at least, but I assure you different fish! :P

Some real tiny ones haha!


First one, nearing last light...was my third pond hop of the night...other spot was dead and the other wayyyy too weedy to fish.





Then a little nicer one out of the same spot.





Then they got smaller...a lot smaller!





Another one...





Well this one was a little bigger than the last...by maybe 3oz!





And one last one...





Just a nice evening out, nice to relax after work and hook a few...man wish I would have landed a couple of those bigger ones!
