Got on the water at 6:30 am off at 12pm at a SS mudhole. Dead calm and only took 3 casts to get a nice heavy 2 on the buzzbait. Nabbed a pick on a Berkley slug after that. As I worked my way around an island I had a couple missed hits on the buzzbait. A stretch of hauling water was then met by a 10in and 11in bass all on the buzzbait. Things got very thick so switched to the frog 3 missed hits here all of which the fish just simply missed the lure. No follow up hits. Pulled out from shore and worked an edge and had a nice blow up on a spook but again she totally missed it and would not come back around again. Fished a long stretch of nada then nabbed a 6in bass on a buzzbait. Found some more heavy stuff that only yielded some more missed hits. Came around a big rock and got a nice bass after changing to a bigfoot frog. Missed a few more hits on a grassline. Made a decision to try a new soft plastic lure I bought on Tue. First cast nice 14in fish. Second cast right on the landing the lure gets crushed and after a good battle I netted a 4lb 5oz bass. Back into some heavy stuff and after working a stick up from several angles got a nice 2lb fish on the bigfoot frog. At the launch was trying punching some matts after a tip from a friend no fish but did get faked out with what I thought was a hit for it only to be some ones broken line. Well after pulling in 25ft of line I got a reward...A buzzjet on the other end cleaned it up and it needs new hooks but still a cool score.
