Fish with repeat guest John, Roe, Kevin, and Graham. Everytime this group fishes with me they try and pick what time we will have our limits by. Last time we went out was at Grapevine with no wind...we never got our limits that day so the pressure was on today! Picked them up at 7:15 and they had their limits by 8:55. Just one of those good days. I tried to talk them into fishing some more, but John said he really hates releasing fish and was ready to go in. These guys are a hoot to fish with and they are really good fishermen. They had me running all over the boat taking fish off. Every third fish seemed to be a keeper today, either toads or dinks. Fish were caught 12-18ft deep on Ol'Ugly Slabs/flies and Flies-By-Night flies. Color did not seem to matter today. The birds came over to play for a few minutes about halfway through the trip, but they didn't last long nor did we follow them. Only had 2 other boats sharing the fish today because of the wind, Frank and his nephew Mikey, and Trashguy with his wife. After I dropped John and his crew off I went back to do a little playing of myself. Frank put his boat on the trailer and he and Mikey joined me. We went and did some souting to get an idea of all the areas holding fish now. Caught fish in another area of the lake from 20-24ft and another wind blown bank at 12-16ft. It was good to see David and his clients out having a good time today. I'll post a few pics later. I have a morning trip available next Saturday (4-16-11) from 7-1 if anyone is interested in catching a mess or a teaching trip.

Long day.
Johnny

Great report!!!! I took the weekend off, because of the wind. Needed a break

Like to thank you Lance for the time that you spent with us. Showing me some things with the 1197 si. Mikie did enjoy himself he had never caught that many fish before. And the doubles were the bomb he said. Once again thanks a lot for your time Lance. P S once I learn catching is gonna be a lot of fun, and when I grow up I wanna be like You and Johnny!!!!!!!!:)

John had me tie on two flies secretly so he could catch a triple to rub it in his grandson's face Roe in the background.

Kevin with his first double.

Frank and Mikey with a double double.

AWESOME!!!

Tip: if they are just bumping it but not taking it they are probably gill slapping the bait. If this happens reel it up and lots of time you'll get bit as the bait goes through the water column.
Saturday the fish only wanted the bait straight down. Casting out and working back was not working.

Great tip!!! I found this happening a lot from time to time.

Great job! Udaman

Older than dirt, AND UGLY???? I crack myself up sometimes.
Nice job Lance.

Where have you been hiding Bama? Haven't seen you on here or the lake lately.

Been having some back problems that make being on the comp. Uncomfortable.
