Paying Off For Donations - 05/26/16 12:47 AM

Well guys trip 2 is in the books, Mike Utley came all the way up from Huntsville to get in on some docks. Had a good day before the wind started to rock and roll and managed to get him his limit with a couple of bonus fish.



He could shoot pretty good and only lost about 10 jigs and broke one rod but we had a good time, we will have to do it again sometime.

Thanks for donating.

I really enjoyed the fishing trip Glad I could help. Back in the day when I Coached Baseball we had cake sales and rent a kid to clean your yard. I enjoyed asking all the questions and picking you mind so I can learn from your experiances. One more question about fishing brush piles in a clear water lake. Do fish right on top of the brush piles or do I make the pile and fish 20-30 ft way and cast to the pile. I mainly fish Lake Livingston which is a off-color lake and I fish right on top of the brush piles. But clear water lakes are a problem to me. Thanks again.

Floorboss, my experience with clear water is get about 15 feet from your brush pile and pitch across and let it sink. HI-vis line really helps, because most bites will be on the fall with a good amount of slack in the line. The HI-vis line will let you see where your line enters the water and will let you see if it stops suddenly or gets slammed with the slack in it. 2cents

Thank-you red snappa; I am trying to learn about different situations. I live in Huntsville and sometimes I fish the State Lake (Lake Raven), I can catch fish when it is overcast or windy, bur clear windless days are tough. I am glad it only costs $3.50 for the entrance fee. Thank you for the information I will use it the next time I get to go.
