Scott, Ethan, Ian, Emma, and I fished out of Goodfield Creek today
Fished from 7:30 to ~1:00
Totals: ~10 bass; best fish ~2.5 lbs
Caught 5 on a Texas rigged Berkley Power Bait curly tail 7" worm
And 2 on an XCalibur XCS 200 Foxy Shad square lip crankbait
Water Temp 77 F - weather was warm (high in low 80s) back and forth between overcast and sunny - around 1:00 p.m. the weather turned bad; a lighting storm drove us off the water
In the middle of the day as the sun started beaming and it got hot, we saw gar coming to the surface (gulping air?), so we started sight casting at them with jerk baits. We had several bust our baits, but struggled to keep one hooked. Finally, Ian caught a 15 lb longnose gar (Lepisosteus osseus) on a Rapala husky jerk. It was quite a fight! Lots of fun for the trash can king!
