[size 2][/size] Had intentions on roundin up some bass but was horribly mistaken. Headed out with no bait just a few cranks n bucktail jigs. Arrived at 33 hole lot 545am. Hiked down way past the usual coves southeast to the floating outhouse.
All I had was a light backpack and 1 dog to watch so I was able to move around alot and did just that. Worked around the outhouse with nada headed back towards the skinny cliffy cove. Got back into the cove was throwin the cotton cordell rattlin shad got slammed hard I let em take some line out battled for a few seconds then the sucka swam himself near some jagged rocks sheared the 6lb test like nothing.
Moved on after that incident backtracking to a cove I passed up that had some ruff movin water wind was really pickin up by now. Casted a couple dozen times with a clown pattered X-rap the whole time I felt the color was off but I got it for free so what the hell.
Next thing you know some birds start going crazy plunging themselves into the drink bout 50 yards out from where I was standing. Two bass boats move in didn't even see em coming. The boaters and me fished the weak boil for about 10-15 mins. I even got tangled up with a boater luckily the lures came undone we both just waved at each other and kept castin hello to who ever you are. All that frenzy for nothing none of us reaping anything from the boil.
Moved on back towards the parkin lot fishin the coves quickly with the white bucktail jig nothing so I called it quits and beat feet out of there bout 1130ish. Other than the boaters that fished the boil only saw 1 boat cruise by towards the wash saw two bankies set up in the main cove on the hike back up the hill. Got to do alot of exploring today felt like I hiked more than fished all in all good day just wished I had bought some anchovies.
It was also cold and windy the first couple hours put on the skimask n gloves to fight the cold the temp is really startin drop. Added a few misc pics I took including a trolling motor someone left behind. Comments or questions welcome.
