Still looking for the first of 2019
« on: February 13, 2019, 08:55:07 AM »
So after reading Kam's report I was a little hesitant of going out, but with the storm blowing in later in the week I had to take my shot. I fished a spot I have never fished before at night. It looked promising with little waves and no salad. Not what I was expecting at all. The baits go into the water around 7:30pm and within a few minutes I get critters on the bait. This place is rocky with lots of bugs around, so I knew it would be like this all night. The temp wasn't too bad either, I was expecting it to be a lot colder. I get a nice tug on the line that felt like a small Leo, but when I got to shore I find out it's a nice size grumpy bass.
. The picture doesn't do this fish justice, it was a least 14 inches long and thick. Mike wasn't with me so, this fish got to live another day.  ;D

I packed it up at 10:30pm, but will be back again to see if this place pans out for me in the future.

Tom and Steve let me in on the SKK.  ;D

Agreed.  That bass looks bigger than 14".  That looks like the SDK or KDS spot.

Mike texted the pic of Steve and his 7gill while I was on the sand. Brutal! ;D

Good to see you got out and gave it a go.  You're correct, looks like some funky conditions for the next several days   :(
