08/14/2010 - Jitterbug smallies
« on: August 17, 2010, 03:03:01 AM »
3am-4am Jitterbug heaven

I got off of work at 1am, quick stop at home to get fishing poles and tackle, then take off to camp an hour and half away. It was a moonless stary night, so while star gazzing for August's metor showers for a little while, I deside to throw my favorite night time lure, JitterBug.  ;D

With a falling star in the sky, 1st cast yeilds this nice 3am smallie.



Along with 4-5 more shooting stars, the smallies were hanging around the boat launch so they were easy picken's off the launching dock.



Throwing Jitterbugs at night in the summer is so rewarding. I love the sound of the Jitterbug bubbling back to the rod, even better when a big smallies sucks/pops on it and with tension on the line, set the hook, Fish On!

so true, but

one night I was out in the middle of the lake in a canoe and there was some crazy people out water skiing at night, lol.
The ski had a light stick tied to his life vest so they would know when he fell and where he was in the water, totally crazy, lol, I thought I was the only crazy out on the water in the middle of the night.  ;)
