12/11/11 - Northshore Honey Hole
Well I haven't been able to take advantage of this good weather for the last month because my GF dislocated her knee, torn ACL, etc. real mess. Finally I had the opportunity to get to the water for a couple hours(12:30-2:30). Set-up the DVR for the Pats game and headed out. A little chilly, but the wind wasnt bad. Tried a couple areas with crankbaits, jerkbaits, and the jig. Nothing doing early on, and I was getting antsy. About 2pm I moved to what would be my last spot of the outting. Pitch my jig in, and half not paying attention my line takes off, but I realize it to late and miss the hook set. Get a couple more taps, but still dont hook up. The good, fish are here, but I need to get a hook in them. Move 20 ft over to a lay down, pitch my jig in, and land my 1st ever December bass, 15in 1lb 6oz. 3 pitches later I have my 2nd of the day off the same tree, 1-1/4lber. That spot cools off, so back over to where I got the 1st bite. This fish plays with my jig for about 5 mins before I finally got a hookset on it. 1-3/4lber, take a little video, picture, release it and call it a day.
Super report great helpful details. Congrtas on the December bass. Sorry to read about the girlfriends injury.
