I went out for first light at a last minute mid river location. When I arived I noticed a few fish surfacing. Within minutes my new "stealth" float went down in a hurry, and I pulled in a 6-7 lbs. spring jack (football). Nice looking bright fish. I gently released him, and two casts later float gets burried again, this time the fish comes thrashing to the surface, and shakes the hook free. Several casts later my float goes for another dip, and I set the hook hard. I know this fish has got to be a big spring, cuz he's pealing line fast, and not coming to the surface. That one got away to after snaping my 10 lbs. leader. Had to leave after that, cuz I told the g/f I'd be home around 10 am. On my way out I had a look off the keith wilson bridge, to no surprize I see a bunch of beeko's trying to snag the few springs that are around. One jack a$$ had a bouncing betty on like he was still fishing for sockey. And this is my reason why I'm against the whole bottum bouncing thing. These fools think they can do this kind of fishing everywhere they go, and they ruin it for all the good rods out there, by putting the fish off the bite. :evil:
