We had fun time on Twok Friday with mepps master DC, Leanahorse on Gene's boat. 6am to 4pm. It was a hot, tough grind kinda day but we managed to boat 57 fish on artificials: 42 whites up to 16.5 inches, 1 short hybrid, yellows, kitties, drums. We planned this trip for a while and glad it finally happened. We caught fish on mepps, slab, spinner but mepps dominated so you can guess who caught the most fish Catching depth was 10 to 25 fow. Wind was hot zero to 7 mph South. Water temp 89f. There was brief birds action early 7am but it was short live probably due to the boat show Thanks for joining us, DC,. Thanks ChampionFish for the invite. Oh yeah, the mepps I crafted caught fish pretty well compare, side by side with the mepps master, so that was a good test for me waahoo! Some pics of us migos to capture the day. Also, it's hot out. Be careful guys!

Many thanks to Gene, Todd and Larry for inviting me to join them. I concur with Todd, it was a very tough fishing day, both for the heat with no wind and because the fish seemed to have lockjaw. We saw fish on the graph on every hump we visited, but at most they would not bite. Maybe they were not whites bass, hybrids or stripers. In the couple of spots where we caught fish, it took all the finesse I could muster with the Mepps #4 to seduce a bite. I kept trying Mepps #2, in case the fish were on a new hatch of shad, but that never produced a fish. Most of the 42 whites we did catch were 14 to 16 inches.
Re the heat, we had to move several times just to get cooled down. When you are out there in this kind of heat, don't try to out-tough your buddies. If you need relief, speak up.

You guys always do it right!
