no you weren't,my phone didn't ring,lol!

Thanks!

Why wait? The fish ain't waiting..they have a job to do. Just change your tactics and move on. The bite may be slower, but its still happening.

I think alot has to do with the particular lake, and lately ive tried to look at each lake as a different eco system, which they really are all differe Take Belton, if its muddy, RUN to clean water. Waco as well. Granger, not so much. I think Granger fish have adapted to the turbid water conditons, and also its not the same turbidity as waco and Belton. ALOT of particulate matter is deposited into the lakes when Belton and Waco flood. due to the large amount of dead trees along the banks, that are rotten and crumbling, I believe they struggle to get oxygen in thier gill plates when the tiny wood particles are blocking thier gills. Muddy water, is likely alot easier. but as the guys have already said, run to the cleanest water. Sometimes right at the fringe is the cue de gras spot

great job, roadrunners used to be used alot more than they are today. Most havent actually taken a good look at a road runner, the hook riding upward makes it very weedless, great for pitching timber, probing brush and banklines. Or just simple basic vertical jigging, thanks for reminding me.

The Road Runner is a good one to have, and if you one hand tied with feathers or hair Skip down on Toledo Bend has the best and he is here on TFF. Just go to jig making or what ever it is to find him. I use more of the old Johnson type {Beetle Spin] myself and they can be found on e-bay for about 30 dollars a hundred. But you do have to add your own jigs and I use what I fish with everyday as for as jigs.

I walked the docks yesterday and today. No keepers yesterday, two today.

When I was first learning Aquilla, I was walking the bank one day, tight lining, walked up beside an older gent and his wife, sitting on buckets flipping beetle spins out about three feet from the bank and letting them lay on the bottom for 5 seconds, then flick the thing off the bottom and let it lay again...crappie would pick it off the bottom...after watching them catch a dozen fish, I asked him to show me how to do that...man, I loaded my stringer that day using that method...the lake was up and the water was muddy...I still do that occasionally with conditions like we have going right now...just saying, really good info on the benefits of a beetle spin, in this type of spawning conditions...

Yes sir, scouted again monday. A dozen or so has been the norm. I tend to move around a lot scouting. It's still a tough bite unless you've been willing to wade for males. Productive wading is now out of the question due to rising water levels.

Post spawn, summer and fall fishing on Lavon will be epic!

Welcome to the forum.

Stucky, you NEED to get out more often...cause the fish are biting....

I knew I wasn't the only one that liked Roadrunners in the spring. (and summer and fall and winter)
