Topwater @ Bunnells 10/10
Message:
Friday I headed back over to Bunnells Pond arriving at 1:40pm. NWS was talking about increasing clouds with a frontal system approaching and bringing rain during the overnight hours. I was hoping a good bite would be on. Started at the island and threw the same lures as last time with a few extras. Lost a small bass right in front of me as he darted for a silver FLR-6. Next I check to see what was hanging out in the weeds by the island and cove by throwing a weightless Strike King Mr Crappie Lightning Shad. Used it as a slow sinking jerkbait and had bluegills, yellows, and small bass interested. Bass as small as 2" would hit it but never set the hook on them. Missed out on a number of yellows as they'd come shooting up from the bottom and grab the lure before spitting it and heading back down. Landed an 8" bullgill, which is a rare catch at Bunnells Pond these days. Later I headed up to the rocks and crappie spot to see if there were any bulls, crappie, and yellows interested in the Lightning Shad. Had 2 nice hits at the crappie spot. Next stop was where I got into all of those dinky largemouths last time. Tried throwing the XPS spinner but niente. Then trowed throwing the FLR-6 but still nothing. Once I threw the black shiner Baby Torpedo, I had a bite going. Total was 4 explosions and 3 bass landed. 1 of the bass exploded on the lure twice. All 3 bass were hooked good on the outer edge of the mouth and the 2 bigger ones were the jumpers. All 3 gave me a great fight on my 5'6" ML setup with 6 pound mono. Once I wasn't getting anymore action on the Baby Torpedo I hit a number of other spots before hitting the road around 5pm. 16.5" 2 pound 13 ounce largemouth is rare at Bunnells Pond these days [img:2b8f59e181]http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r614/mvsimko/165inch2pound13ounceLargemouthatBunnellsPond10-10-14_zps1e57831c.jpg[/img:2b8f59e181] 12.5" 1 pound 6 ounce largemouth [img:2b8f59e181]http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r614/mvsimko/b272f5ca-d828-4fdb-8551-a1e00ea8a9f5_zpsa0274a70.jpg[/img:2b8f59e181] 15" straight 2 [img:2b8f59e181]http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r614/mvsimko/a92ca5ff-d758-4836-97e9-624cad9ea60d_zps34cd4a98.jpg[/img:2b8f59e181]
