after a restless monday evening my brother and i got an early jumpstart and arrived at boatramp around 2am. threw my castnet for 3 hrs trying to catch baitfish and only caught plenty 12 inch tilapia. crossed over to other side of lake and finally found baitfish. anchored out 545am and thought i would enjoy a well-deserved snack and refreshment. baited out poles by 0555, first fish on 0603. caught over 20 reds in the next 2-1/2 hrs(lost count) on live perch, shrimp and shad. its been a little over 24 hrs and my arms still feel like they got pulled from their socket joints. while trapsing around during this mayhem i must have kicked my favorite baitcaster that was lying on the back deck thus locking the spool down. shortly after i became the lastest member of the fairfield underwater rod & reel club. learned this lake and all we know about redfishing from jackieblue

Parker: I still laugh about the time you almost became the founding member of the underwater trolling motor club. I don't care who you are,that was funny.......at least it was after we got it back on the boat.

Hey gregpaul,
What depth of water were you catching the reds in? Last 2 times I've been I didn't do so well. I really like using live bait and the best place I've found is right where the ramp ends. But be careful cause if you throw 3 feet past the end, your net will get hung up.
