Pacemaker Fishing Forum

This is a post my friend made about our trip today:

Went out with Dan today for a couple hours. Wasn't quite the bite I had the other day but we still managed a few. We ended up with 12 bass. Most of our fish were tight to wood. All of Dan's fish were off jigs while mine were off traps and spinner baits. Water temps ranged from 56-62. Yes, I said 62!!! Water was still very muddy. Probably around 12" of visibility.



I was working a trap around a lay down in less than 3 ft of water when my bait got slammed. It swam straight towards me. I finally caught up and new I had a huge fish. I really thought it was going to be a 7/8 lbs. Dan and I were shocked when we finally got a look near the boat... My first snake head. She went 7 lbs. She completely swallowed my trap. It was so deep in her mouth we couldn't get it out. Dr. Dan will be performing surgery this evening to get my lucky bait back followed by a nice fish fry!
