11/3/13 - Cran Bog Hawgs Trail @ Sampsons Pond
I fished the "Cran Bog Hawgs Cold Water Series" for the first time this past weekend with my buddy Paul. The trail is ran by a nice gent Dave(Wojo), I look forward trying some more. Water temps were similar to last weekend. Definitely colder air temps...add in some rain, and gusting winds made it slightly uncomfortable at time. Paul and I basically focused on the 2 spots that worked last weekend, although we found this day they would be holding a little shallower 4ft-6ft range. Paul got his 3 on the shaky head, with his best being 2.78lbs. His other 2, and my 2 were all clones about 1lb 2oz. Mine came on the drop shot. I had a decent 2lber came off mid-day that haunted me a bit. Combo of wind, and not getting a great hook-set resulted it coming off after a couple big jumps. We grinded out a 5th place finish with a limit at 7.30lbs on a tough day. Less than 2lbs off 1st places 9.15lbs. Lunker was 4.44lbs I think. The Halo boys were there and I think Kenny, and Scotty had 8-1/2lbs for 2nd place. Good Job guys, and good to see you both.
