Today my Dad and I went fishing again, We left the house at 2:00 o'clock in the evening and fished till dark so a total of about 3 hours 15 minutes. Total we caught 7 fish and had 12 bites all together. The fish head spin caught 5 of the fish including the biggest which was around 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 pounds. Then one on each a jig and a flick shake 5in senko. The fish were holding a about 23-28 feet of water and all you had to do was parallel the bank and painfully slowly move the fish head spin on the bottom. The trick that I did to my fish head spin which was the one that caught all the fish was change the normal willow blade it comes with to a smaller colorado style blade. The advantage of this blade over the willow leaf was that I could reel it much slower then with the willow blade (the slower you could move it the better).

Following up on my post from yesterday about my new Shimano Cumara. My dad and I went out fishing, some more winter time bass. We caught 15 fish today, 5 of the fish came on brown craw colored hand tied jigs, 4 others came on a fish head spin with a zoom fat albert grub as a trailer, the other 6 of our fish came off of a darter head with a six inch morning dawn colored robo worm. The bigger fish went for the fish head spin even though all together it got less bites, I ended up loosing a 4 pounder at the boat while trying to lip it. The Shimano Cumara was the rod that I used to catch all of the fish on the darter head, this is one of the most sensitive spinning rods that i have ever used and even though it has a good fast tip you can still power down on the fish and pull him in. I would recommend this rod to anyone that is looking for a new spinning rod for senkos, tubes, drop shots, or darter heads. Check back in for my next post most likely will be up in a week.

New Shimano Cumara

Just got a new Shimano Cumara spinning rod 7' 2" medium action. Going out fishing tomorow morning with my dad. I have a darter head tied on the new rod hopefully i will get to catch a giant on it. This rod is super light and feels like it is going to be a winner. I will check back in tomorow with picture of how we do.

Early Winter bass fishing

Decided to go fishing last night and set my alarm to 5 o'clock, woke up the in the morning and the clock said 8:30! The alarm was never turned on... Well for the fishing my Dad and I caught a total of 21 largemouth bass. Most of our fish came on brown and watermelon colored jigs, but the bigger ones came off of shad colored spinnerbaits my spinnerbait was a revenge double willow leaf and my dad's was a stike king willow colorado mix. Our biggest five fish would have gone some where between 17-17 1/2 pounds, our biggest was a 5.3 and then a 3.8 both caught by my one and only dad. Over all this is one of the best days in winter that I have ever had.

The other day my dad and I went to my friends lake again and caught 14 fish all over a pound and a half. Most of the fish were caught on shaky headed senkos or on some sort of senko rig. Biggest one was pushing three pounds and most were about 2 and a quarter. Caught seven a peice and we both had a decent 5 bass bag. I had a 10.5 and my dad had 9.4 each had a decent bag but I managed to pull aboard some quality fish.
