Lake Worth fishing report - 05/31/21 05:53 PM
Hit Worth today around 7am... It was overcast and calm... The mission was to learn how to flip and pitch them reeds... I almost never do it and I suck at it, so today I only pulled one rod out of the locker. Time to learn.
The first hour or so not even a bite... nothing.. I did however set the hook on about ten reeds... Then it started to sprinkle which was ok with me as I like being out in the rain.
Fished a bit more and ended up catching one... then another, and then another.. missed probably 3 or 4, and then got this good one. The battery for my scale was dead so I have no clue how much it weighed.. I am holding it close to my body though, so it is every bit as big as it looks. Anyway, by the time I released that one and started fishing it was raining real hard and the bilge would not shut off, but.. I kept fishing. Got a few more bites but did not land anything. I learned quite a bit about my gear, my lone and my technique so that is worth it in itself. I left when I saw a little streak of lightening.
There was a pattern with different vegetations.. anytime there was a good clump of that green leafy stuff there was usually a fish on it. I got most of the bites on those and a few on the reed points. The big girl was sitting underneath the leafy stuff shown below..
All fished released to catch another day. Here are a few pics.
BY the way, I saw this on my graph at one spot on the lake before I got to the area I was fishing.. Any guesses on what it is? I thought the white line of separation was odd...
