First Bass on a Jig!!! YAY ME!!!

Well I finally scored a bass on a jig today!!! I was so excited. It was sweet and a rush! I was using it for a little while and I casted up in to some thick stuff and as soon as it hit, it barely had time to fall and BAM! I kept the line as tight as could be the whole way back to the boat! I got it!!!!

I was using a 1/2 oz pro series flipping jig with a black round rubber and purple with blue glitter scale silicone mix skirt and had a double bungee worm trailer. YaHOO!! Can you tell I'm a little more than thrilled;O) I don't have much experience fishing jigs. I will get plenty now I know I can make them work, lol!

It was a long day. We went to Gresham WI and fished Upper Red. We got there about 2 o clock. Not a great time. It was quite nice today. A little breezy. The sun was out in full force. It wasn't until about 4:00 pm when I scored that bass! After that we went into the thick pads and slime and I used a frog. Pat used a moss boss. I started with my frog and the first time it hit the water I had one surface and I missed it. Then I had another one, surface and missed. The finally hubby caught his first of the day on his moss boss. We kept fishing that way for awhile and nothing.

So we went back to spinnerbaits for a little while out in deeper waters. Not a whole lot of action going on. So we headed back for shore water and I had one come up from underneath and missed my spinnerbait. DANG! That was a nice one. I wish I could have gotten that one! We fished in the middle on the way back to the launch with one more hit and miss on my spinnerbait and we headed out. Still going after the BIG ONES!
