Yo Tubers hit up LAB this past Sunday with my buddy SP Dan. We were on the water by 6am and got to work right away in the eel grass. Dan (still waiting to catch a legal Spottie) was first to hook up a few casts into the session.  I could tell by the bend in his rod this was the fish he was looking for.  Twisted Evil Unfortunately, the fish won the battle and got him wrapped up in structure.  Mad  My heart sank for him. Crying or Very sad

It was a long session, but we were able to find a nice mix of fish along with a few toads. Also tried the Jika rig for the first time and loved it.  A little weird at first, but I got used to it real quick after I landed a nice sized Spottie. Cool


16inch Sandie

My first Jika fish! 15inch Spottie  Twisted Evil

Same fish..

Another 15inch Spottie. Same length as the previous one, but this guy was an absolute beast. This guy had much more bulk on him.

Bigger head too. Same fish.

This is why I always wear waders!  Shocked

Dan flipping a Sandie into the tube. Sorry for the lack of Dan pics. After losing that brute early in the morning. He did not want any pics until he got some redemption.

Hey Jason!

I had a blast out there fishing the docks ... and sharing the bay with you Sir.
You said that you were going devote the entire session to casting critters, well you did ... and it really paid off for you.
Congrat's on the legals!
I really appreciate that you gave me a Jika rig and a critter to toss ... hopefully ... I'll get luckier with it next time! I'm sure that I will.

Until our next session,

Tight lines

Thanks! You should give LAB a try sometime. What it lacks in quanitity, it makes up for in quality.

Thanks Jeff. I also made by own Jikas. I cheated though. LOL I used the jig rig hooks by Owner that already have a welded ring. Slap on a duo loc and your choice of sinker and ready to go! Can't wait to toss this rig out again soon!

Dan, I'm glad you got the float tubing bug! You'll be a Spottie Slayer in no time my friend. Once we get you onto your first legal bass, you'll really be hooked.

Yes indeed LAB has some quality fish. Just hate the wind that blows through there in the afternoon. Makes for a crappy kick back.
