Dec 1&2 CBBT

[B-faithful]

M buddy Brian and I took the B-Faithful down to the CBBT to fish again this year on Dec 1&2. I almost canceled due to the over hyped cold front that pushed through on Friday. I am glad we didn't.

Friday we left Kiptopeke at first light and started trolling the pilings of bridge. It started slow but once the tide changed we landed nice 35" er on a pole that Brian's grandfather made and lost a larger fish. After losing the larger fish we found millions of birds and decided to put away our trolling gear. We ended up having our fill of light tackle bucktailing bass from 20"-28" before the seas due to the cold front became unbearable. Here are pics from the first day:

Birds looked like gnats

The second day started out a bit rough due to the front the night before. Unfortunately the seas, stingray's sub, and bud light caught up with Brian so he wasnt feeling the best. After use of the Home Depot bucket, a tide change and the winds lying down some the day was on.... We trolled the same area as the day before and again landed a 35"er and lost another fish before finding the birds in the shallower water. After chasing birds for a bit we anchored just off the bridge and we had fairly constant action of 20-28" fish on light tackle for quite a while. It was becoming repetitive and we decided to go back and troll the deep water just off the bridge for some bigger bass. I glad we did. We ended up with a nice steady stream of ~38" fish. I think we caught 4 or 5 and lost a few. One may have been a boat record that broke lose with the leader in my hand.

Here are pictures of day 2:
