Picked up a coworker's nephew who I had fished with before and we got on the fish pretty good this Sunday morning. I think I parked next to Troy Boy because I saw a neat and tidy Stratus trailer with fancy back up lights. If so he was there when I started at 6:30 and after I left at noon.
We caught all of our fish on two lures in a small ditch just off main lake. I used a small 85mm top water and he was throwing a SPRO Fat John 50. I got a lot of bites on the top water plug and started off working on the spots petty good but Brian caught up with me and he ended up with the most and biggest fish for the day. All of our fish came from a small ditch about half the size of a football field. We fished some other areas but kept going back the the same one again and again while watching several boats come by and leave. I am pretty sure one or two where fishing the HD Tournament but all of them were hitting the points outside of the ditch we were fishing then leaving.
These fish seemed to be eating blue backs and shad and both bait fish seemed to be in the area. All of these fish were post spawn and most were skinny, had sores and fought very hard. Some of the blow ups were awesome as the knocked my lure up in the air and smashed it several times before hooking up. I was walkin' the dawg nice and pretty and Brian was just using a medium steady retrieve. I did catch some dinks skipping docks but the two lures did all the damage.
Our two biggest fish were full grow and we had 10 pounds in two bites like the one in the picture. Will be back out there Tuesday and will fish Hammond's Wednesday and you can bet I will leave this area alone and hit it first thing Wednesday night. Hope they stay there!
Blessings,
