OH my how time flies... Acutally Matt and Frank, I still remember that last great winter and have pics to proove it. Matt took an allstar team consisting of JD, JV, and SuperDuck. We were fising/catching next to them. The date (2/16/2009) is on the pic. So that makes it only three years ago and not four. lol This was taken from my old cheapo phone...lol

I was counting in 2012 which is only a couple months old. I caught them that year out from the Heath Boat ramp humps and in between Chandler's and Robertson Park in the deeper water in both places. My brother and I would go and limit out almost every outing.... Birds worked all winter. Just think we probably saw each other and didn't know each other. Glad that has changed... Great group of people on the Forum for sure... Plus now a bunch of us are charter members in Matt's fish whisperer club so we are now master fisherman!

Thank you Matt for an awesome day on the lake. I am a avid Hybrid fisherman and what you did to me today only fueled my addiction. The is one of the best fishing trips I have been on. My cousin Josh has never really cared to fish and this was only his third time to ever be on a lake and fish. It is safe to say that after he got into the double digit weights fishing the hybrids he was hooked!
When the forearms start cramping as they were today you know you got into some hard fighting fish. Any ways from my cousin and I, thanks Matt for the incredible fishing.

Awesome guy, awesome guide.

Hey Matt, thank you for the help this morning, we were on the red Skeeter. You know, it sure was cool watching you guys pull them up so quickly. That first spot didn't work well for us, only caught about 3 there. But on the other side with the birds, it went nuts. After you guys left the birds, they regrouped and we spent the rest of the day there. I ended up pulling a 30" 15.4 lb striper out, my brother did a 11.7 lb. We switched from flukes to a 1 oz white and chart. road runner with a chart grub and they were really going after them. The hybrids were super fat and the smallest was 6 lbs.
Again, thank you very much for the help and tips, you didn't have to and you gladly did.

Again, thank you very much for the help and tips, you didn't have to and you gladly did. It was great to meet you out there today! We actually started throwing 6" sassy shad later, what a hoot  I'm glad ya'll got some bigguns! We left the birds and fish biting. Had to be in by 2, but arms were sore anyway  On the way in we saw two more groups of birds working and not a boat on them. I never saw more than a couple boats at one time all day. That'll all change in the next month or two. Guess I'd better turn in. Tomorrow looks like another balmy fish frenzy day

I don't think I have ever seen that many birds on a lake. At one point we were completely surrounded and spotted two other areas full of them with no one around. They got really busy in the stumps also. Best fishing day for us to date.
