MATTAWOMAN FISHING
Maryland
 |
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. |
