needed to get back on the water. Took care of some business this morning and rushed home and figured I would head up to Murray
for a few hours in my kayak. Oh wait...I am so glad I remembered that its the second Tuesday of the month and Murray is closed.
So my plan changed and ended up at the San Diego river. Even with a late start, it felt good to be fishing again. Tried a few reaction
baits, some topwater baits and nobody will believe this, but I even tossed a frog for a few minutes and no takers. Maybe an early
start might be better for that frog so I changed over to Tokyo rig with a craw trailer. My line twitched and I pulled a small bass out
of the stick-ups. A little later I switched over to a senko trailer for a bit. I got caught daydreaming as a bass hit it maybe 2 seconds
after it hit and started taking off and I missed the hook set. You do not get a lot of chances(bites) at the river so I was bummed a
little. Then I tried something different just to mess around before I left. I tied a worm hook up my braid line and a drop shot weight
and the end, but rigged it with a crawbait and started pitching it on the edge of cover. Suddenly my line headed out towards me
and I landed a healthier bass.
I guess messing around sometimes pays off...ha ha. And that was it... 2 bass on only 3 bites.
