Popped off the birthday weekend fishing a new local lake with Jared. Not exactly allowed to fish there but, to my understanding, I don't care.
Tried a 1/8oz KM to start, which I did get a couple bites on. Jared threw a dropshot for a while for a couple bites.
Then I switched to a 3/16oz spinnerbait and got slammed. Really dogged me, then got a good glimpse. Tabby bass!

No other bites. We parked in a place we shouldn't have but we did not get any slaps on any wrists by any HOAs. I will consider returning to this lake as a source for light after-work entertainment. I hear there are grass carp in there.
Did I hear grass carp?!
Where's my bow! 8)
Nice kitty and grass carp, huh? That would be a new species I would fathom to guess? I know I haven't caught one before.

It would be a new species. I hope they aren't too rare or finicky in that lake. Seems like they would have enough room to roam that it could be a tough get.
