Overcast skies and a little mist in the air, I just had to sneak out of the house for a little swimbait session.  Left the 6" weedless Hudd at home since the last one on it didn't stick. This morning took out the ROF 5 8" trout Hudd back to the local park.  Only focus one part of the park where I lost the one the other day.  After throwing it for ~45 mins, I was going to call it quits.  A couple more cast and Hudd stopped in its track.  I thought it was just a hang up but it started twitching.  Swung for the sky, and saw my line coming up the the surface.  Breaking the surface was my Hudd and attached to it was a decent size bass.  After a few, jumps and tug, I finally got my first 2010 bass.  Not the biggest but a good bass to break in the New Year.  Got some Mexs looking and awwwing when I put it back.....

hey, u fish bass often?

[fish4keep]

hey, u fish bass often?

As much as I can.  But we don't have 10,000 lakes like you guys.  We have city parks, some with ponds. Also these fish here are heavily pressured since there aren't much places to fish.   The lakes we do have takes atleast an hour to get to and shore fishing for bass is very limited.

damn, make me feel great to have so much access to many lakes. u got a boat or plan to get one?

I had an ocean boat,  97' 1802 Bayliner Troph Cabin.  Sold it 1.5 years ago, the day after my son was born.  Not looking for one any time soon but if I was, I'll probably just get a small one since storage is very limited.  I had to store my ex-boat at a storage for $120/mnth.  It was $$$ out the door.

what rod where you throwing that huddleston on?

I don't have a true sb rod since I can't commit to throwing them all day.  So I use my Chronarch/7'6" H Crucial flipping stick to throw my ROF 5, 8" Hudd.  And for the ROF 5, 6" Hudd, I use my Curado/7'2" MH Cumara.

Yeah, it's not rated high enough for the sb but I could cast it okay.  Haven't had any problem with it yet throwing the 8" Hudd and 6" wooden punker.  Now if it was like a 8" BBZ than, I'll most likely have problem casting it.....
