FISHING SEASON 2K10!!!!!!
- Thread starter cichlid fiend
- Start date
Spots fished-7
Time fished-6.5 hrs
Fished landed-8-I-5/Dennis-3
The college of NJ was the first spot of todays "lake hopping" adventure. I started out with the basics for this time of the year which was a jig and rattle trap. Dennis did his usual and threw the spinny, which I didnt think would work to well. Man was a WRONG, the spinny produced the first action on the day but he wasnt able to land it. So as I always say " MOMA AINT RAISE NO FOOL" so I tie on my spinny and BAM fish landed!! After that I did my stick and move method while Dennis basically stayed on one shore line. I went all the way around the lake and when I got back to our starting point, I heard Dennis say those magic words "GOT' EM" . He is screaming "its a monster T" . I run down there and what do I see, A nice 3.0 pound bass. After scaling the fish and taking a few pics we left happy!!
Baldwin was the next spot. It was kinda muddy and we werent able to see any action. No bite fish were active of nothing just turtles.
Bakers basin was the next stop. It also was muddy but I seen a few small bass and some bluegils. No one was able to land anything.
AMC movie theater was forth. Seen some bait fish right off the back. I walked three quarters the way around and gave up. Dennis strayed in the front the whole time and was able to land a decent 14"er!
The fifth spot is a lake we like to call "the stained lake" of plainsboro. On my second cast fishing parallel next to the bridge BAM fish on. It was a small 8"er that was able to jump off the hook. It was MAD bait fish out but nobody was able to land anything.
Mill pond of Plainsboro was are next spot. It was a few bluegills out but no bites for us.
The last stop of the day, I keep as a "give me" spot. Its a very small pond behind a new high school in Robinsville. I told Dennis that is a was a 70% chance someone would catch something. Boy was I right, I was able to land 4 and Deenis got one!!
It was a good day in my book!!
FYI- ALL fish landed on the all white spinny!!

I never liked catching cats but they do give up a decent fight!!
Downingtown. Not far from Jersey. Yo you may be able to help me actually seeing as your a pretty advanced fisherman. Over the winter I set up my rig with new line and I just took it out for the first time. Bird nest city. I decided to go with 12 pound test which was thicker than the 8 pound stuff I was using last year with the same rod and reel combo. It seemed like any slack I had, or even with tension on my retrieve, the line was folding up like crazy. It even felt like my cast were going shorter and that I was pulling in more weight than my lure. I kept reeling in semi-loops and going nuts, it was a nightmare. Now i'm dying to set it up right for tommorow morning and the only thing I can think to change is the line. Heres my best guess as to what sucks;
1. Crappy line - Shakespeare something or other 12 pounder. Bought it dirt cheap maybe because it sucks?
2. Reel tension adjustment - Is that even real? Did I make that up?
3. Bad reel?
4. Should I have treated my line with something, or possibily did it get accustomed to sitting on the reel over winter?
Either way it was a very frustrating start to the season and I'm hoping for a nice do over tommorow morning. Any help or advice anyone can give me will be greatly apreciated. The bass must pay for this insult.

yea i know spinner baits, jerkbaits anything you can fish an area fast with are good run and gun lures, I just like the rattle trap because I can work it deeper and rip it through the weeds and let it flutter back down then rip it agian, etc.
