Had a busy day at work today so I left 15 minutes early so that I could fit in a few casts.
I don't know if it was the attitude that I felt after my busy day or if it was just the rebellious streak in me, but I decided to hit the secret spot. I didn't even bother with the easement side by the homes, instead choosing to squeeze through a hole in the fence protecting a private dock.
The choice of lure was my trusty and battle-worn 1/4oz silver body/black top Yo-zuri crystal minnow.
The bites were fast and furious.
After 15 minutes, I landed four ladyfish, jumped three, and lost the hook-set on a few others. I found that the best retrieve was slow; a pop-pop followed by a drag, a pause, then repeat.
When I inspected my well-worn lure on my way back to the car, I noted that the rear treble hooks were starting to straighten out, so I'll bend them back, sharpen the ends, and see if I can't land a few more fish on my all-time most productive Yo-zuri.
