Fished the Osprey yesterday at Margarita. Before I started throwing the bait a bass came out of the water right in front of me. It was like saying hi i'm here try and catch me. Just broke the surface and shook his head like he was hooked. At first my wife thought I had hooked it, I would say it went 5 or 6lbs. Picked up the osprey and threw it around. On my 10th cast or so while fishing the bait slow but under enough it was out of site I got bit and bit hard. Not the same fish but a 3lber, lots of fun. I've rigged my own bait and haven't lost one yet, but only caught two fish on it. Still good odds I would say. On the two I caught both of them wanted the bait no doubt about it. Just hung on. BassMan
