August 15, 2012

Lake Bloomington
4Pm-8PM
Weather: Sunny temps in low 80's moderate wind 10 mph
Water Temp: 81F moderate stain


14.5" SM - Ned Rig 1/16 oz with KVD Finesse worm,  sea wall diagonal from boat launch
12.5" LM - Black and blue football head jig with rage tale chunk, flat across from boat launch
12.5" LM-Ned Rig with PBJ Zinker Z, flat across from boat launch
11.5" LM-Ned Rig 1/16 oz with KVD Finesse worm, flat across from boat launch
26" Flathead- PBJ and Smoke football head with paca chunk trailer, around corner after no wake zone

The story of the day was missed fish.  I lost a 3 pound + LM  and a smaller bass on a football jig at the boat.  I have lost a number of bass over the last couple of years on the football jig.  I need to work on my hook set and not let them jump.

The other interesting thing was catching another flathead.  This time on a football head.  It hit like a ton of bricks and I thought I had a big bass, but when it kept trying to dive instead of jump, I new it was a catfish.    It did not cut my hand quite as bad as the last one.  I still need a net.
