Went to Piney Run with my buddy again to get our money's worth on the season pass. There certainly is an increase in vegetation/grass/weeds/pads growing now with the warm weather. Water was more stanined than we anticipated.
The lure for the day was a beetle spin. My buddy probably cuaght 7 or 8 largemouths on one. I had a nice 15 incher in about 12 feet of water on my own beetle spin. I was using a fluke jr with a paddle tail as the trailer.
About 10 minutes later I hooked into a very large bass close to shore in the shade. It took line and dogged hard. I made the mistake of applying too much pressure and the bass broke the surface. It opened up a huge mouth and shook violently. The lure departed from the fish. It was likely the biggest bass of my life.....lost to be caught again hopefully.
I never recovered and was fishless the rest of the day. We stopped fishing around 12:30PM. My buddy also caught some bass using plastic worms in the lilly pads and slop.
We'll be back.
