Had my good buddy Ruben out today ... We fished a long day because the fishing was fantastic
it's hard to just leave fish and call it quits sometimes
it started out pretty foggy and just like last week I started shallower than I have been ... We caught a few fish and moved around the lake a little ... Only to finish where we started , LOL ..... Every year in December and January those fish move out deep to follow the huge bait balls of shad and as the winter moved on and it gets closer to them spawning they move up the lake ... It's just like following the migration of birds
speaking of birds , they played very nice today as well
first good bird action with fish that I have seen in a while ... But don't worry , when they leave the fish are still there . With just Ruben and I , we even had a few rods in the rod holder
we had better luck today not suspended , but right off the bottom with a sloowwwww lift ... I switched it up a bit today and pulled out the 3 in fluke with 3/4 oz jig head today and it was a killer .... Ruben stayed with the 1 oz slab today ... It's a feel thing
we ended with some nice hybrids Today , a butt load of huge white bass ... We had our limit in the box and was steadily throwing back fish ... When the wind was a little stronger I used my drift socks to keep us at .3 mph but the wind died enough you could just float around
remember that you want your lines to stay almost straight down , it you are moving and your lines are at a 45 degree angle that is too fast ... Seen all the guys out today as well
we even left fish to go hang in the flotilla with some great folks
Terry and Ray great seeing you guys !!!! Fishboy Frank and Bombtastic nice chatting and of chores we always enjoy the great laugh and spirit of Plano Keith
