Since this was the first fishing trip for this fall, I wasn't expecting all of the leaves covering areas of the stream. That made it kind of difficult to do top-water fishing. However, it was perfect for bass fishing.
I took my new bait caster and a spinner with me this time. I had to learn how to use the bait caster. My friend Corey was very helpful in getting me started with the bait caster. I finally got it down to one "bird's nest" for every 10 casts. It took a lot of patience to stick with it though.
I'm so used to just casting out with my spinner and just moving up and down the stream. This time I had to concentrate a little more than normal. Actually, a lot more than normal. With the spinner I just flick and go, flick and go, moving up and down the stream. With the bait caster I found myself stationary a lot of times.
It really felt good to hit the water again. I love wading, and today was perfect. See the pics of the best that I caught and you can see why I call it another good fish Friday.
