Some days you just have to work at it and this trip was one of those. My guest was Paul Fleming, retired Fire Chief from the city of Fredericton. The fish seemed to be scattered when I expected them to be stacked up. We covered a lot of water on this one and fished in a pretty bad chop most of the afternoon. Paul was a very gracious guest and stuck with it all day. The upside is he got his first drop shot bass, his first in line spinner bass and his first jerk bait bass. He really liked my Cumara Drop Shot rod with the CI4 reel. All of his jerk bait fish came on a Jackall Squad Minnow fished on a 7′ Exage rod, 2500 Stradic FK and 20 lb Power Pro.
The big surprise for me was that the bait fish were gone. We found fish in 25 to 30 ft of water around huge bait balls on the last trip and they were gone. We scanned quite a bit of water with the HDS Live units looking for them with no success. We caught enough fish to do a show but it was a long day for all of us. The magic of editing might save us.
