Fished an island point on the main river with a 1/8 oz. Bitsy Minnow and caught a few 10"- 12" Smallies. Worked my way up to a backwater and lost a huge Bass at shore on the same bait. Minutes later I tied on a Mepps #2 Black Fury with a yellow twister tail and landed a 16" Smallie in a current break behind a log. Next came a decent white bass.
Snagged up the Mepps and went back to the main river. After throwing a spinnerbait with no takers, it was time to kick back and soak in the sunset, full moon and the rest (refer to Gortowski's letter on my website for details...you get the point). After seeing some giant bass jumping it was more than I could take. I ran back to my truck and brought out some buzzbaits. Threw my arm off on a blue/white one with nothing to show.
Tied on a yellow/white one and had a big fish swipe at it and miss. On the next pass, it didn't miss. I set the hook on a 18 3/4" Hog Smallie...my biggest to date on the Kank!
The mosquitos were starting to gather with bad intentions, so it was time to pack it in.
Too bad the weekend weather forecast involves flash flood warnings....just when the river was really starting to turn on.....
