Came home from Cassidy after fishing in the morning because I had a baseball game to umpire at 2PM. I soon received a call that the game had been cancelled at the last minute... so I did some household chores, walked the dog, mowed the lawn and did some other work around the house. Then I packed the boat and went back to Cassidy to fish for bass in the afternoon/early evening. The lake was very busy, and a bit windy, so I anchored up in a few of my favorite spots and fished very slowly and carefully. I fished a Carolina-rigged 6" floating black & yellow rubber worm. I crept it along the bottom, inch-by-inch, and got two bites (except for a few perch? nibbles). The first largemouth was exactly 22 inches long (and way fat!), and looked to be 6+ pounds (maybe 7+)...huge, but I have no scale. A couple of quick phone pics later (sorry the pics suck, but I fish alone), and the giant was gently released. About 10 minutes later I stuck another one...about 4-5 pounds of fat hawg. What a start!...but that was it. A couple more hours of hard slow fishing, but no more bites. What great luck I had to enjoy these awesome fish and catchable moments, and a fun thing to talk about at work Monday. Take care all!
Wow! That is a great fish...I've never fished Cassidy before. Is there any good shore fishing for a guy without a boat? I am trying to learn more about bass fishing as I moved here a year ago from Wyoming and only have time spent fly-fishing for trout. I have been wanting to focus on largemouth, but have only had luck catching a bunch of smallmouth from Lake Washington...nothing above 11'. Great catch, tight lines...
Nice hawgs you got there. Im glad to see someone having luck on the lake. I like this lake and use to fish it alot before my daughter was born. GBASS There isnt much shore fishing available there are 3 spots one is the boat launch another on the same side is the resort which you can rent boats or use the dock for 2$ unless it has changed the last year or so. Then about straight across from the boat launch is a dock for free public use off the bike trail. Hope that helps. Tight lines
Two things :) 1) a day like that on Cassidy would be a 5 star for me and 2) i take pics all the time by myself and i get the full fish haha. just messin with ya, wish i could see the whole pig, thats all :) well done good sir, well done.
Edgeran...I could take better photos, but it's my signature to have my ugly mug in each shot ;) I also forgot my digital camera - which does a better job. That fish did deserve a better photo, but I don't like handling them too long before release. Tight lines, take care!
Hey Pig On, Do you want to catch a fish you can be proud of and take a real picture of. My buddy James and I want to know if you want to go pig huntin this Saturday. Our boat, our beer, (schmidt ice and a sniffter of gin). Let us know where and when PIG ON.
