I bet you could catch ‘em on a Jerkbait late this afternoon on north banks with this 77 degree day and 40mph wind. I know I’m not brave enough. Surely nobody is fishin* today......If they didn’t cancel Toyota Series on Rayburn, I pray that everyone comes off the lake safely. Man, it’s howling out there!

Okie, I don't know if I'm just not as tough as I used to be or if I am just not as mad attum as I used to be but it's not blowing at all here in my living room right now.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME YOU SHOULD GET TESTED. ONE OF THE SYMPTOMS OF COVID IS NO TASTE!

It' has been a very mild winter so far. Looking at the long range forecast for the South Central Texas area the over all winter picture is a mild winter.  Side Note: What we really need here in South Central Texas is RAIN, and a lot of it!

It always seems like we try to rush spring. I have a tournament so I'll be out there tomorrow, but I'm not looking forward to battling the wind even on a small lake.

I fished most of the day but it was pretty tough. I really put the Ultrex to the test today. I caught a few in 15ft to 18ft on a c-rig and caught a few in a foot of water punching grass mats and brush. Water temp was 54 when I left.

Left at 5:45 turned around when the rain started, tinkered in the garage until 9. Launched @ 9:30 and fished all day torturing the new trolling motor. One bite and planted two trees.. Was wicked rough on my little lake, and I stayed sheltered just behind the main lake points. Swells in grapevine lake were wicked, couldn't even imagine what they were like on a big lake. Definitely a day to test drive a new boat. Spot lock in 25-30 mph winds test passed, might have to turn in my man card as I got a little queasy in the back seat.. Batteries flexed harder today than they ever had. Will be interesting to see footage from a tournament in the wind we had today.
Grapevine lake water temp 48 in main lake.

There was 4-6 boats out on Lake Bridgeoort today. Saw them on the water near the bridge and parked at the ramp.

Dadgum, that is a nice fish. Way to go.... All I caught besides a catfish on a crankbait was my broke off carolina rig. Prosise
