We went to LOJO Ranch,

Jeremy said back when he was setting up the tournament I couldn't fish. LOL

Casey

he had to leave at noon anyways for a shotgun wedding he said

Thanks guys. For catching 50 bass in a day, the fishing was a real grind. I fished hard just like I was in a tourney, trying to figure out how to get better ones to bite. Fishing with the entire TFF community following the results kept the adrenaline flowing. That made the day exciting, just like the pressure of tourney fishing or delivering for guide customers. The Day on the Water is a neat excercise and a really fun challenge.

There seemed to be somewhat of a forage problem on the lake, as almost all of the bass had sunken concave bellies and were paper thin, like they were starving. Most weighed pretty small for their length as a result. I never really caught a "chunk" the entire day.

I felt like I put together a pretty solid pattern and was able to call my shot on a lot of the fish. They seemed to be located around isolated weed patches on the shoreline where bluegills were spawning. There was some good looking hard cover like rocks, docks, and wood, but very few fish related to these. As a result, I threw bluegill oriented baits and colors and had the best success with bright crankbaits, spinnerbaits and june bug or green pumpkin worms with chartreuse tails. I felt like I was throwing the right baits because I could turn around and refish an area that was productive and really couldn't pick up additional bass by using a variety of different baits or finesse tactics. I tried to fish deeper, slower, and with finesse tactics, but could never hit on a tactic to catch any big bass. It would have been interesting to have a few other boats on the water to see if I missed something or if the pattern I found was the best for the muddy and windy conditions on a lake with seemingly small fish.

A special thanks to Casey for including me in the Day on the Water series and for producing these for the TFF. Casey gets no compensation for doing these and even insisted on splitting the gas money when we carpooled to the lake. He met me at my house at 4:30 AM, took notes at the lake all day, got back here at 4 PM and went home and worked on writing this up until midnight. He's still working on the videos and pictures and will have them out soon as well.

I hope you enjoy Casey's write up as much as I enjoyed being involved with it.

Good Fishing,

Tom

Good job Tom and Casey. I can relate to the dink-fest as my Day on the Water was similar at Alvarado. Still a fun day and I urge everyone that is interested to give it a go.

You guys and Gals get ready, I have some awesome video and pics to put up, and lets just say you will LOVE the videos.

I will have them up as soon as I can.

Casey

Another great write up!!!

Nice job guys. Casey it doesn't appears as though writer's block was a problem for you last weekend. Thats a lot of ink!
I am sure you had a good time Tom. Catching that many fish is often as much fun as catching a few big bites.
Aaron

Videos turned out nicely. I thought cameras ad 10 lbs--apparently not to the fish...

They do didn't you see the guy fishing?

Casey
