Pitiful

That's how I feel about my recent trips

On the 9th I slipped out by myself, dropped a 3" Mag Tadpole in Blue Glo-Treuse and immediately stuck a nice fish


The rest of the afternoon I didn't have any issues getting bit, but no quality fish! Ended up with 16

On the 11th, Belinda & I got on the water late morning and she immediately stuck a 1.95#

We caught fish on a variety of baits, but no really good fish
Belinda did have a little fun with this one

Met up with shecrappiekilla at the ramp and gave him the fish we had

On the 13th, Belinda & I again set sail to try our luck.
We didn't get on the water till almost noon, by 2 I gave up attempting to catch fish on big baits and rigged up a Mr. Fry for myself and a 2" Tadpole for Belinda
We followed HOGON's advice and dipped the tails of the BES in Chart Spike-It.
It was game on, but just a couple in each spot we hit and way too many shorties
We ended up with 20, but 2/3's were less than I wanted to keep



On the bright side, I've found a lot of new structure and gotten very good with my filet knife.

Hope to go back out tomorrow, just not sure where or how I'll fish. Belinda & I both don't want to fish open water, but that may end up being exactly what we do

Was the bald Eagle sitting on the dam? He has been there the last few days. Pretty site to see

Nice fish and a awesome post! Thanks for sharing.

Nice slabs...the bite should pick up with good constant weather!!!

good catch what lake was this..

He was on a tree on the island the last time we were out. I've seen him standing on the dam several times tho.

Sorry, my bad - Lake Fork

I wish it would get COLD and stay COLD!

I think a lot of fish migrated to the dam area when the water started cooling off, but when it stayed 58-59 for almost a month now, they kinda scattered.
