<b>Name: Mike Lilly</b>
<b>Nickname:</b> Fishhawk
<b>From:</b> Stittsville, Ontario
<b>Date Caught:</b> July 2007
<b>Weight:</b> 5.1 lbs
<b>Technique/Lure:</b> Hawg Wild Vomit Tube
I went camping at Muskrat Lake with six other families, including Bobber's, for the Canada Day Week-End. On Saturday morning we went to try out a spot that we had learned about last year.
We were disappointed with the forecast for the week-end. When you have temps approaching the mid-thirties suddenly falling back in to single digits in the early morning, the fishing can often be very difficult. I wasn't surprised to only catch four bass on this morning. They were all fun fish in the two lb range, with the exception of the last fish.
I've never been one to fish a tube slowly. Or a senko. Or a worm. Patience is something I am going to work on this year. Giving fish a chance to move through weeeds to eat the bait is going to be key to my great season this year - I hope.
So there I was, fishing my favourite bait so far this year, a Hawg Wild Baits Vomit tube (yes, I said Vomit) into pockets in weeds and lily pads. I had counted my ten Mississippi's when my line went sideways. Patience had paid off and I pulled this hawg from the weeds. It weighed 5.06 lbs on my friend's Rapala scale.
Gotta get me some more of those Vomit tubes. They have accounted for more than two-thirds of my bass to this point this summer.
