Alvin got in on the fun in the mitigation site this evening too. Since his usual spot was taken, he moved his security checkpoint to the next streetlight toward the boat ramp. He put on a dead shrimp and within minutes this 28 inch red took the bait. Alvin had Brandi run, yes run, all the way around the boat ramp and halfway down the crossbridge to get a net. Maghsoud(407) manned the landing net and they brought in the catch. If you enlarge the photo and look carefully near Alvin's left thumb, you will see that the red had a green looking bass assassin still hooked in its mouth from an earlier encounter. The bass assassin was rigged with a swivel, steel leader, and red mono. Not the best rig, but I guess it worked. I just wonder where that happened since I've never seen anyone use a rig like that in the mitigation site.
Brandi had borrowed the net from Vic(712) who had used it to wade into the mitigation site to try to recover the broken line he had experienced earlier. Vic had used a float and we could see the float moving around the mitigation site as the fish pulled it around. Vic waded in and chased it all over, but never could quite get it.
I've heard from several blog readers lately who have seen my posts about the recent catches. This morning Phillip Buffkin called and said he wanted to get in on the action. Things are pretty booked, but I told him 502 would be a good choice and put him close to the action.
