Got to go out with Jason Burton on one of his day's off and I'm telling you, for the first 3 hours we were thinking all we were gonna be doing today was fishin! From 7:30 to 10:30 we had 1 fish in the box! Finally we pulled up to a brushpile in 15 fow off a point and right away Jason started catchin, though I was still fishin. Anyway, it slowed a bit on that pile so we moved about 50 yards to another pile and again, Jason started catchin. Truth is, I did catch a few from each pile but Jason thumped me pretty good. The action slowed there so we went for a cooling boat ride (it was starting to get hot!). We pulled up to our last stop and spent another 30-45 minutes catchin. We quit at 12:30 with 36 in the box. They really wanted something solid white or pearl and most were around 12 to 15 ft deep, just above the structure. No action shots today but here's the mess. BTW, make that 35 NICE CRAPPIE and 1 ditch pickle Jason felt inclined to keep!


Again, I encourage anyone not familiar with Lake Palestine, or even folks that might know the lake pretty well but are struggling to find fish, hook up with Jason (http://www.easttexasfinestfishing.com/)! He'll put you on the fish!

Good job fellas

Hope the bite is even better by October!

Ya'll done went and done done it again! come on October! you guys try to save a few.According to the pic Vern,looks like you were the guide today and Jason was the client! great friends and great catchin'!

Nope! Just snappin the pic! In fact, Jason located a couple new spots & found fish on a couple recent finds! He put it on me today! Still, tons of fun & I really appreciate him putting up with me in his boat! I guess being a cop has made patience one of his core attributes!

It really was a nice day on the water. I always enjoy fishing with Vern, he's a great friend. I'm really lookin forward to the cooler weather coming this weekend. I've got to work all weekend but I know Vern and Jerry are gonna be whacking umm. I'll be impatiently waiting on pics bud! I'll be leaving for Colorado those week so this was my last fish in trip for a while. I hope everyone has a good week.

Nice job guys. Wish i had been able to have been there. As usual it looks like the familiar "should've been here yesterday" comment applies. Have a great time in Colorada Jason and let us know how the hunt goes. We'll hook up when you get back I hope. See ya soon Pepop for some
