I decided to run out to Lake Disston and throw the yak in for a little afternoon top water action. I probably got to fish an hour and a half but you can not cover much ground with these little plugs, particularly the Rebel plug.
I fished a Rapala f5 floating minnow (original) and a Rebel miniature minnow that's about 1.5"l.
The Rapala seemed to out fish the Rebel as all but the first fish was caught on the Rapala. The Rebel is less of a surface plug as it dives easily and is less visible. The Rapala will cast considerably farther also.
I only put (5) fish in the boat. (3) small bass, (1) bluegill and (1) shell cracker. I had maybe another 1/2 dozen strikes that missed the plug. it was pretty fun but it takes a little getting used to fishing with such a light spinning real and bait.
Most of the strikes as soon as the bait touched the water. Next time I will bring mu fly rod as well.
I don't know what effect being so close to the new moon might have had on the bite but the major feed was not until 10:45pm so I was early from that respect. I did hear a few other strikes here and there.
This is one pretty lake, although it is very shallow and has a hard sand bottom.! The cypress trees are unbelievable. It was a little to late for some pictures of the trees but I did take one.
