Fishing Fun With Casey on Lake Petit – Part Two

If you missed reading Fishing Fun With Casey on Lake Petit Part One check it out and then come on back.

Thanks Casey, Oct. 9, 2009 was my best day of catching smallmouth bass on Lake Petit. Every day out with Casey was fun even if the weather didn’t want to cooperate with us on our first 3 trips together.

I only have about a dozen lures and unlike Casey, I don’t really know what their names are. I just use the ones that I think I would eat if I was a bass.

I was taking my que from Casey. I would look at what he was using from his huge tackle box and then I would look through my dozen or so lures and do my best to match what he was using.

It’s kind of funny because Casey was telling me about his Rapala countdown and like I was say, I was trying to match what he had with the few I had.

I took my lure out of the water and read the lip on it and it was a Rapala countdown. How cool was that.

I love fishing and have loved it as far back as I can remember but I was never good at remember all of the lures. I just have fun fishing and enjoying the friends I have.

Well to get back to my day of fishing.

I caught a couple of smallies, one 14 inches, the other 18 inches and had great fun. I caught them both on the Rapala countdown, even though I tried a few other of the lures I had without any luck.

It had been a while since I caught bass and it was just as much fun as I remember it being.

The 18 inch smallmouth jumped a couple of times but the really cool part was when it came up on one side of the boat and tried to do a tail walk which turned into lying on it’s side and surfing right around to the other side of the boat.

Casey missed that because he was trying to knock it off with the net. Well that’s what he said he was trying to do and I just took him at his word.

 

The clouds started getting really dark and the wind was starting to pick up again so we decided to call this our last day of fishing for the year and reeled in our lines.

Just as I got my Rapala countdown to the boat and lifted my rod it fell off. The clasp had opened and there it was GONE. I will have to go and buy another one before next season.

Casey thanks for the fun days on the water this year.
