Ok.. yesterday i got a phone call from a member here asking me if i knew of anything going on in my area. I said no i didnt and he told me he was going to go to a certian spot. I told him he was nutz to go there durring the day but he had a hunch. Sooo... about 2 hours later i get another phone call from him tellling me i had better get down there quick. I blast down on my lunch break and find him with a school of adult bunker being pushed up onto the beach by big bass. I tied on my trusty snagging hook which i have been carrying in my plugbag all season in anticipation and instantly snagged one. After hooking it, she sped off away from the school into the mouth of a giant bass. She swallowed it and i gave it about 5 or 6 seconds as she swam off, then i set the hook, or at least tried to set the hook. I couldnt seem to set it so i eneded up dropping the fish. I snagged another and gave it a 2nd whirl.... same thing i couldnt set up on the fish. 3rd time a bloofish bit off my snagging hook so i tied on a NIB yellow swimmer and on the first cast a 20 lber slammed it and did a full flip in the air. I beached it, said good bye and went home with a nice keeper for dinner.
It wasnt the best fishing of the year for me, but it was the most fun by far. When you do so much night fishing, you dont see see that kind of action. It might be happening in front of you, but you never see it like you would at high noon.
thanks for the phone call Chris
