So, I got up and packed my gear for Quincy Resevoir in Aurora, CO. It has been monsoon weather here it seems like the whole month, with some hail and small tornadoes mixed in. I figured that I could get on the water and try to get into a good topwater bite:
First fish right before sun-up was right at 4.5lbs...she hit off the dock in about 10' of water over heavy weeds. A clear-green body/white belly Sammy 100 fished on a custom GLoomis CB 845 (slate blank) and Curado 100D/10lb Yozuri Hybrid filled out the combo.
I did manage a few more througout the day and managed to lose another fish on the shallow flats on a Megabass Giant Dog-X that was about the same size as the first fish. Can you tell I was tired and grumpy?
Heck, I must've been a bear as afterward I went to work and got off at 9pm!But the real deal is that I found a fun new power spinning combo to fish with:
Lamiglas XMG50 LP 844 MHF (actually fast + taper) Popping blank extended to 7'3" by a local builder in combo with a Daiwa Certate 2500R Custom & Sunline 24lb Bass PE/12lb YHybrid leader. This combo not only rocks for tubes and light jigs, plastics, etc, it kicks butt for 110s and other big jerkbaits and fished the Megabass Giant Dog-X beautifully!
Essentially, I felt that I should have been wading in the keys tossing Mirro Lures for snook and reds!
