Son and i used to catch crappie at lake sweetwater in the spring back in the 80's
Had some pretty good days at lake Coleman as well


Hooking a fish is like playing string with a cat. The exact size, shape, color of string matters less than how you wiggle it- and little cats are easier to fool than big ones. John Gierach

Not at all
Shad,Perch,Carp,I never offer something they do not naturally eat
Im not desperate nor greedy and I get skunked plenty
I target big cats and big cats dont eat stink baits,West Texas lakes dont offer to many really lunker size cats.
Every season does allow for a few 40-50lb that suits me plenty

I use alot of two hook rigs on 8" or larger shad and perch
Perch I keep as wiggly as possible,seldom cut unless frozen/thawed(winter)
Dead shad get the tails docked for scenting,over all size is retained with all my baits.
Stinger hooks are what got the smaller fish in the pics back up the thread fwiw.
I changed my perspective on fishing 20+yrs ago and it hasnt failed me since

We'll be on The HILL tonight till . . . . ?
Ya'll dont sing it,BRING IT!! there's fish to be caught

Had a real nice one hit on a 12-13" drum and the swivel failed(broke) just before
we got a first look.
Only speculation . . . . . .but it had to been upwards of 50lb
Events like that keep us coming back,always next time smile

I found hundreds of Bowfin fry today. Prolly 2-3" long. I wonder if flats would eat them once they grow a little. I thought about throwing some in the bait tank to let them grow a little.
