Date Fished: 6/4/2005
Water Clarity: 0 Opening Day on Long Island!!! Caught 3 Largemouth - 1st was largest
(approx. 3-1/2lbs)on a Zoom Fluke. I was able to see a male guarding a nest from the overlook I was casting from - when I pulled this fish past the nest, the male came off and tried to bite the hooked fish's tail!!! When I released this fish, it went over by the nest and was chased by the male - then "Mom" cruised by - she looked HUGE even post spawn - couldn't entice her at all.
Walked down to the sandy spit and caught 2 nice Largemouth about
2-1/2lbs each - a male on a spinner bait (fins were worn and still a little veiny from making a nest I couldn't see) and what I think was a female from her belly shape on a Zoom Fluke. All fish were quickly released. Wanted to go back and try for that big female, but it's been too hot lately - unfair for the fish and definetly unfair for the fisherman! Tight lines to all!!!
