Lake side no good! Water temp and water level change. Fish move into deep. DD at OK wall, dinks all day long. Finger size, lot of them. I saw people using frozen or live shads. DD at TX wall very decent in the morning. Fishes were not picky, they hit poppers, jigs, shads. I caught about 15 fishes with popper, 2 with jig, most of them before 1:30pm. Did not fish at DD for almost 4 weeks, so I did not have high expectation for today. I started out with popper, tried feww spots, did not get any bites. When I thrown my popper behind the rock with swift current, I got a bite, missed the fish, small one though. I slow down reel in, and few pops later, I caught my first fish of the day: 31", 10.5#. I was totally suprised, but very happy. I also caught one 25", 6#.
I met a new guy, Luis, Vietnamese, very good fishman. He is very good with poppers. He outcasts me by a mile at least! He caught one about 5#, and one 3#.
Only shads were good in the hot afternoon. Left at 4pm, went to lake side to show Dunkky Dude where my secret fishing spots are.
Big mammas are there.
