Bass-turd Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 Went out for an hour last night to Jordan marina, saw about 6-8 other anglers fishing. As soon as I geared up the gentleman beside me caught a small sheepshead about 2-3 pounds. After about 20 minutes I notice something slash at my bait, missed it the first time but not the second, set the hook into my first bowfin in quite a while. Small guy only a few pounds, but this is the first one I’ve seen or heard of coming out of the marina, although I’m sure they are around. Fish was caught on my own homemade soft plastic lure мормышка, Jmaz4, NiagaraRiverFisher and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smerchly Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 Nice to see the odd bowfin caught . I have tried for pike ,perch and carp a few times and had no luck . Some of the bowfins can have nice colours . Bass-turd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice fish Unfortunately I’d prefer to keep my lure a secret lol, it’s a 6.5 inch soft fish plastic jerk bait of my own design, made the original out of play dough and used plaster of Paris to pour a mold around it, I’ve caught plenty of trophies with it, just need to make a smaller and larger version of it Tyler0420 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
