Fishing 5/19/07 Mark Burchick
Mark and I went
fishing today and we
were in the
turn-around flight
path of some of the
Andrews Air Force
Base, Air Show
air traffic.
Just above the
tree line
between the bass
and my face are
three A-10
Warthog Tank
Killers.
Mark was hot,
catching 12 bass
on the day, to
my eight.
Mark caught most
all of his fish
using the
Reaction
Innovation Sweet
Beaver (a bog
ol' chunk of
soft plastic
with a beaver
looking tail).
With water
dripping off of
Mark's face,
this bass did
not want to get
lipped and have
an out-of-pond
experience.
This
four-pounder was
the big fish of
the day, and was
caught on a
green pumpkin
colored Sweet
Beaver.
It's backwards,
but the
skywriting plane
sent out puffed
clouds that read
"Andrews AFB Air
Show Sat."
It was fairly
early in the
morning, so I
think this pilot
was testing.
The words
"Air Show Sat"
show up well in
the photo.
I used 5-inch
Senko worms, and
Senko Kreature
baits, both of
which worked
well (with
Mega-Strike
attractant).
Spinnerbaits, my
Xcaliber Jimmy
XJ4 (floating
stick bait) and
Rapala X-Rap
(shallow
crankbait) were
all
non-productive,
jigs did not
catch anything
either.
