It's kind of a tough call when they run into the weeds like that. Sometimes you can muscle them out, and sometimes you pull the hook out as in this case. I'm glad I have the 8wt now so I can control them a little better. The 6wt is fun, but a little weak when you hook a good bass, and the 8wt definitely helps you throw big bass bugs and lead eye bottom crawlers. I'm always bummed when I forget my camera, so I was pretty happy I remembered for this trip. I think I might be a little too photo happy, but I like to have something to remember the trips by. It's crazy that it's nearly October and the water is still as warm as it is. The month went backwards I guess.
It wasn't Twin, though I've been thinking about trying it this week if I get a chance after I finish the third exam of the week on Thursday. I think I'll really need it then. I'm kind of on a fish waters I don't fish as much kick, and it's been paying off, so I'm torn as to where to go next. I guess I'll see how I feel on Thursday.
Cranks were definitely the ticket until the sun got low. The feeling of a good bass hitting a crank is one of my favorite things.
