May 3 2011 – Kentucky Lake Field Testing

Fished with the dynamic duo of Backwater outfitters today.  John and Brad.  Interesting day to say the least man it was a good time!  With the lake 10 feet higher than it has ever been before it was a little tough.  We managed to make a few cross eyed with Brush hogs and whatever we could pin up against the trees that are usually high and dry!!  A little sobering to fish the back porches of people properties but the fish didn’t know any better.  We talked most of the day about business and their dedication to the tackle business and how much they love it.  John is an ex County Judge and Brad a decorated Police officer.  Seems they got tired of bad news and took full time to selling enjoyment through time on the water!  Every once in a while the fish would bite and surprise us.  We had 30 + fish best one was about 3.5 on a Green Pumpkin blue flake.  On a oh wait I’m not allowed to tell you which rod and reel yet.  Ha Ha Ha.  Just a great time with the guys and the new tackle.  They loved the tackle and picked my brain all day as to why we built it.  They see the methods to our madness.  Every time I fish with guys like this it just solidifies why we do what we do!!

 Cheers,
