Went fishing tonight. Got to Painter Ramp patoka lake around 7:45pm. Around 8pm I caught this bad boy. Was using Roadrunner jig on 8lb crappiemaxx high vis line. Must be my luck. I thought the jig was caught on some rock. But pull in a largemouth bass 4-5lbs. My first big bass ever. Left around 8:45pm.
I don't know fish.
I was all set to go fly fishing with my father and uncle at Camp Atterbury today but wind and fly fishing do not mix well. My 78 year old uncle pulled a mussel in his back and did not think he could fish, sitting in a boat for hours anyway. I took an Army cot and put it across the middle seat of the boat but he did not see much humor in it. I spent the day organizing and cleaning gear instead.
It wasnt that bad fly fishing or atleast i didnt think so but Im just starting out.
I spent a total of 2 hours on friday, 6 on saturday and 10 on sunday fishing and caught 1 grass carp(6lbs), countless bluegills in the 6-10in range and 5 13in largemouth bass mostly on elk hair caddis and charteuse wooly buggers.
Im hoping this week to finally hit the white river and fall creek and get some wadding done.
