My First Sunfish-Redear

Well, well, well…what is this little sucker? It's a kind of sunfish--redear. Today I used double-rig drop shotting…hahahahaha…

Yoshiki said it's kind of a "greedy" rigging set. What the heck…!

As long as it catches fish, it's a good rigging set.

I know…Yoshiki's bass was bigger than my redear. But I was still very excited about catching different kinds of fishes…hahahaha!!!

Hey…Hey…! Wasn't it kind of too easy to catch a bass?

See………..I got another one! Call me "bass pro."

Texas Rig vs. Drop Shot Rig

Which rig works better in Hawthorn Park, Texas rig or drop shot rig?

From the two-day experiment, it seemed that drop-shot rig won this battle. I got one on a Texas rig yesterday, but caught 4 on a drop shot rig this afternoon.
(Time: 2 Hours for each day. 5:00pm ~ 7:00pm)

The Texas rig really has it advantage that it seldom got hung up or snagged in the water. Just like Yoshiki said: "it comes back whether it hooks a fish or not." However, it was really difficult for me to detect the bites since there was a bullet weight between me and the bait. In addition, I did not get bites very often even though I followed suggestions from experts. I even lost two fishes because of being too late to set the hook.
~~Texas rig can be used almost everywhere and in any season,

but it is a very different rig set to master.~~

Today's first one: Isn't she big and beautiful?

Drop shot rig, on the contrary, is a "productive" rigging set which usually catches fish "efficiently." I easily detected every bite from bass, sometimes from bluegills (I guess). The only shortcoming are (1) light line may break after catching several fish and (2) line twist. Today, basses seemed to be attracted by my wacky worm very much. I should have caught 5 actually. But in the last one, the bass got my lure and escaped. I hope she feels it tasty…hahahahahaha!!!

Well, I tried to imagine what she was thinking:

"What…!!!This is not a real worm...Damn!!!"

This one pulled really hard…almost cut my worm in half! ^_^
