July 4th Jacobs Jamboree
Awful trip name I know, haha. Just had to make something lame with all J's. Lol. So we decided to head to Jacobs Pond at around 630 before heading out to see some fireworks at Oldham Pond. I was fishing with my trusty Gary Yamamoto Senko's, hyper white; rigged wacky style. Dave was fishing with Purple/Brown Missle D-Bomb soft plastics; licorice scent. Gage was fishing a trusty white ZOOM 6 inch jig worm. We fished our usual spot, on rt. 123 right off the road. On my second cast I landed a 2+ lb'er that INHALED my senko. What a fight he put up too, 2-3 good jumps clear out of the water. Dave hooked up about 15 minutes in, on a nice 3lber (I forgot my digital scale so I am guessing based on their size) after about another 15 minutes of no action, i decided to move down the road to another opening and cast adjacent to the shore near the drainage block. On my 3rd cast I got hit, but didn't get the hook set; I immediately cast back out to the location of the hit, a couple of quick pops and BOOM. Landed him, another good 2-2.5 lb'er. We called it quits around 8pm and headed to Oldham for some fireworks. All in all a pretty solid hour and a half outing for kicks and giggles before fireworks I'd say!
