Pillings Pond Fishing Report
Finally Got Out
I haven't fished since Sunday. I grabbed my new Boag Hog Baits swim jigs and headed out determined to bag a few fish. I only had 3 hours so I needed to make the most of it. Within 1o minutes I had my 1st fish out of a tree branch. 10 more minutes and I had a nice fish that was hanging out under a wooden foot bridge. I thought I'd get more than 1 off the bridge but no. I was throwing at any branches and downed trees I could see. There was a good sized branch floating alone. I picked up a shorty of that. I lost a decent fish after casting into a downed branch I wasn't sure if I felt something and I half assed the hook set. He threw the hook. I was fishing around an island with a house on it. A couple of guys on the porch say hi and ask about the fishing. It's going good and then wham I get nailed of a log. It's fun having an audience. They ask how much it weighs so I weigh it. 3 pounds even. It's starting to get dark and I wanted to throw the slammer around. 3rd or 4th cast I'm waking it real slow and I see a wake come up behind it and just suck it in. I set the hook and have a decent fish here. At least a 4 pounder. He jumps and throws the hooks. I couldn't believe it. I drilled him and have some sick owner hooks on that thing. Oh well, I keep casting as I work my way back to the ramp. I have no more hits and am really bumming about the slammer. I just can't seem to build that confidence. I'm not giving up though.

I like that hooksets are free comment

Normally I'm a false hooksetting maniac but I was pretty deep in a big tree branch and didn't wanna drive the hook into the bottom of it. I didn't really feel it. Next time I cross his eyes or hook a tree

Thanks Joe. I'm not giving up on em

Keep chucking em Shawn! The bite will only get better with that bait from here on out. Tuesday was the perfect day to be throwing them, we crushed em on the 9"

I bought them through Tackle warehouse. I have two 7" slammers and a mini slammer. I have not thrown them much at all. I just can't seem to build confidence even though I know they catch fish. Hopefully I have a late surge and can start next year off right

Shawn, on a big tangient....did you buy your slammer direct or thru a "dealer"? Have you used it much?
