tested some stuff today
I ran out of a swivels and a few other things so I headed down to M&D's to stock up, and since I had a couple of plugs I needed to test swim I threw the plugs and my 7 footer in the car.
So after the trip to M&D's I decided I'd test swim the lures in the river behind the parking lot at M&D's. So I walked thru the snow drifts & crossed over the tracks and I'm swimming the lures, and really liking the way they swim, when I thought I saw a boil behind the lure them Wham, a fish hit. I missed it, but I was so not expecting it I never even attempted to set the hook. I was really pretty shocked.
I've never fished for holdovers before, and I was casting a 10" swimmer that was painted flourescent orange so I could see it good... For the next 5 minutes I 'test casted' just a little bit more, and I forgot that it was 30 degrees with a 20 mph NW wind and I was standing in the snow...
That fish put a grin on my face for the rest of the day....
