It was exciting this morning! I hit the pond before work. Now that the sun is rising earlier, it is easier to go fishing in the early morning hours. The air temp was still a bit cold (especially for May). I think it was around 47-48 degrees outside at around 6:45am.
But guess what? The exciting part was being able to catch some bass on a new lure that I have previously never caught any fish on. That lure my Ohana is the Salty Super Fluke by Zoom in the Bluegill Flash pattern. I was able to catch 3 bass this morning on this lure.
I fished this fluke in a weightless configuration, and I used a G-Lock hook size 1/0 from Gamakatsu that fits very niceless as a weedless option. The hook seems to be almost a perfect fit and does not look too big for the presentation. I through this on one of my baitcasters with a medium power pole that works well with "jerkbait" type presentations. This is exactly how I was presenting the fluke. The fish weren't really biting on a fast "walk-the-dog" type action. Instead, I was allowing the fluke to float and sink a bit and did more of a jerk, jerk, pause. Bam! They were biting, and I now have caught fish on a new lure. It was fun! Stay Committed, Stay Driven!
