After seeing a full moon last night I knew it may be tough, but decided to go fishing anyway. Did not feel like going to Murray again, so I headed out to the SD river. I worked a couple jerk baits and a crank bait for a while and no takers and then to a spinnerbait and still nothing. The surface was pretty calm so I decided to start flipping. I tied on a Tokyo rig on one rod and a weighted senko on the other. After working the different baits I finally got my first bite after close to 2 hours of fishing. Tap..tap..as a bass grabbed my Tokyo rig and after losing a number of bass last time, I really set the hook hard and the fight in the stick-ups was on. I was so worried I would lose it as it was really digging in and out of the stick ups and relieved as I pulled in a nice healthy 4.75lb bass. I continued to work the Tokyo rig and the weighted senko. I flipped the senko deep in a pocket near some tulles and my line headed towards me and I pulled in another pretty nice bass that stomach was pretty solid from probably filling up on lots of shad or crawdads. Before leaving I got bit on the Tokyo rig with a crawdad trailer and the bass came unbuttoned in some sunken branches. Dang! Oh well.
Anyway, it was a pretty tough morning of fishing, catching 2 bass out of only 3 bites, but no complaints as I had fun.
Oh I almost forgot...there was a consolation prize as I rescued a Whopper Popper
that somebody broke off along the tulles. Sweet!
(No @McFish the Whopper Popper is not yours...ha ha)
