Bass on a crappie fly
« on: May 22, 2003, 12:23:01 PM »
This is funny lastyear I snapped the tip off a $150 flyrod in the car door so after seeing the crappie fisherman on TV down south with the long poles I got an idea tp put a small spinning reel on the now 6" shorter flyrod and use it for crappies. I tied on a chartruese streamer and went fishing this morning at 6am.  I had the drag very loose and first cast it went off with ease by the time I fumbled with it I realized i had about a 3lb largemouth on.  Well with all the exceitment he finally got off. All I could do is laugh I have been throwing all my bass lures in recent days but no bass to be seen so I changed over to go crappie fishing and hook bass go figure.                                              BigBill

This year I just can't win???? Well at least I'm getting out in the fresh air.

Bill,

Also maybe you need to downsize the baits you are using for bass.  I'm still throwing 1/4 and 1/8 oz. size.  Lawdog

I can't find fish on the fish finder at all anywhere it shows none. I have the new hummingbird smartcast we did see fish against the shore but small ones just to see if it works.                       BigBill
