Caught several bream next to cypress tree roots and a couple of small bass. The Sneaky Pete was the lure of choice. I use a 6 weight 8' rod that was purchased at BPS 20 years ago. A nice change of pace from using the heavy tackle.

Years and years ago me and a buddy camped out at Beavers Bend for a weekend with the sole purpose of catching trout to cook and eat in camp. We couldn't catch a trout to save our lives but we caught a mess of BIG Redears under some cypress trees in the park. We fried those up and had them with a bottle of white Zinfandel - one of the best meals I have ever eaten in camp, or anywhere else for that matter. Glad you had a good trip.
