Default Tough Day on the Run...Sunday River Redemption

Hit Spruce Run with the wife on Saturday from 10 to 3. Tried all kinds of stuff in all kinds of places but got nothin. With warmer water and cloud cover I was hoping something would be working. Oh yeah the wife did get 1 LM. Evidently the pattern was: Find a small tree standing in 2 feet of water....throw a spinnerbait into the top of the tree...shake it loose...and as soon as it hits the water catch a bass. Turned out to be a nice little fish Pic below.

On Sunday fished the Musconetcong River with a buddy of mine for about 3 hours. Ended up landing 6 Rainbows with a bunch of follows and hook ups that got off. All were of the typical stock variety with one nice one about 2lbs. 1/8 oz Panther Martins black/yellow dots gold blade had the most action but a 1/8 oz black hair jig got the big one. (Thanks again Wilson and Andy!)

Thumbs up Re: Tough Day on the Run...Sunday River Redemption

Thanking Wilson is like thanking Santa Clause for presents, c'mon !!
Had an argument with Luke the other day about the jigs. He said he is using 1/8 oz. and I am using 3/32. I said his are way to heavy, wait do the math he said. Good to have a college kid around and explain to me that his are ONLY 1/32 oz. heavier than mine, duh !
Nice bass, great report !

Thanks Jeff...it was my first time fishing it in that particular spot. Spruce is fuller than full. We could fish spots that haven't been under water in a long time.
