I have had two break off on me out there so far this year. Both of them where good fish, the one the other day was a pig, broke off at the boat. Both times it was my fault. The fishing has been slow unless you are fishing for dinks but there are some big ones out there. We lost a big one and caught a 7# and about 30 smaller ones on Saturday

Have you fished with a shakey head before? They are a little more weedless than just regular jig. I like the Owner shakey heads that have the screw on keeper.. I've had pretty good luck with a 3/8" oz using a Grande Bass 4.75" snake in black blue up shallow. Pitch it up into the skinny water flooded trees..

Cedar hill south is open as well. Lloyd and Lynn you will get wet...dock ramps were under water at both of those since the rain. Don't know about Cedar Hill. Never go there.

Haven't had any luck this year with square bills. They like a texas rigged watermelon red baby brush hog pitched. It has been kind of on and off with the weather. Fished it today and tried all over the lake and only got 3, between 1-2 lbs. If you want numbers, you can just go shallow in pockets. They are pretty spread around on the lake.

Well i beg to differ seems right location and right bait as well guess they like power worms also

Slade hate to tell you buddy but this fish had a hook in lip when i caught it

Uh oh.

Try fishing dam have your boat in 10 to 12 ft of water throw toward shore and drag a Carolina rig watermelon lizard dip tail in spike it charturuse
caught several fish up to 4 pounds using this tactic over weekend.

Hope this helps

That would be cool if it was the same fish, honestly I got a pretty good look at her before she broke off and I would guess size wise it would equate. I'm just not sure you are fishing the same area of the lake that I was the other day, but if you could tell me what kind of hook it was, then we might be able to dig a little deeper....

Kinda straight hook with small weighted keeper up under the eye

Broke someone else's heart... I was fishing T-rig with a 3/0 Trokar off-set hook.

looks like a
trokar big nasty

30 fish of any size would be an awesome day! I always see this and realize i am not great at fishing!

Even a blind squirrel like me can find a nut every once in awhile. I have many trips out there with nothing but that typically happens when I'm throwing big baits and trying to focus on a few big bites. The other day was a little more of what I would consider finesse fishing. Not really but it was for me. And it was the best day I've had out there this year for sure.
