As always it was great fishing with Kent. I’ll add a bit of detail, I fished with two rods, one with a slip bobber with a white with red flake Maniac Gitzilla and one with with just a 3/8oz. White tube jig fished on the bottom. The Gitzilla was about 4’ under the bobber I would cast it out put it in the rod holder and fish would attach the bobber. The tube jig I would drop straight down to the bottom and if I didn’t catch one on the drop I would reel it up a foot off the bottom and lay my rod down on the gunnel and pick it up when it got bit. If I missed the hook set and then didn’t get bit again immediately, I would reel in and the bait would be gone. It was tough keeping two rods in the water at once, several times I would be bringing in a fish on my bobber rod and when I got it next to the boat I would hold the rod in my left hand and pick up my other rod in my right and pitch that tube in front of the followers then have a fish on in both hands. I’m hoping for good weather next Saturday when I return with several kids and there dads. One of the rainbows Kent caught was a dandy probably 3.5-4 lbs.
