Frustration

Date: June 12, 2011
Location: Lake Bloomington
Time: 6:00-8:00 PM
Weather:  Low 70's
Water Temp: Mid 70's
Fish: 10.5 LM Bass (KVD 1.5 Sexy Shad)

The story of the evening was lost fish.  It started with a nice smallmouth on a crankbait and progressed to a 5 pound plus largemouth jumping and spitting out my Shaky head worm, along with another 14-15 inch bass spitting out the shaky head.  All fish were hooked along the seawalls and docks along the south east shore.  I may need to set the hook better with the shaky head.  I am used to them catching themselves on the wacky rigged senko with an exposed hook.  I did manage to catch one small one on the square bill crankbait.

It was still nice to get out on the water after being on vacation with my extended family for an entire week in Branson, MO.  I need to start trying a few new techniques in the next couple of weeks.  I have been using the shaky head a little to much.  I think I will try to catch a few off the bank over the next couple of weeks.  Crankbaits and Football Head Jigs will come into play.
