Plus +1. Good to see you J.V.

Waaaaay to gooooo!

That's a "banded water snake". Harmless.

No snakes are harmless, to me they are all poisonous.

I did see Varner and his crew working Sunday morning with a boat load of Hybrids, I am jealous. LOL

Great job John!!!

It's still a snake there was 3 of them swimming around .. We kept looking around at our feet

I had a awesome time fishing with you JV, the schooling fish we found made very good video footage! I am "trying" to edit it to put on youtube. Looking forward to fishing with you again very soon!

Fished 3 days this weekend ...�

Had first time guest Parker and his 2 daughters ( thank you RoughHuff) ... The group has never fished really , except a few ponds we started them out with top water action and then some stabbing ... Kids did great :)�

Saturday we had Ray " the ladies man" birthday get together .... Ruben and Plano Keith joined me ... Started out with Great top water action but later that morning my batteries had a loose connection and didn't charge .. We down rigged up some hybrids later that morning :)�

Sunday had first time guest Toby ,his son and father inlaw ... The schooling action didn't last long but caught some quality fish ... We had to go in a little early because of the heat but they had a great time ... They kept a few fish for a fish fry and all other trips where catch and release .... �

All fish caught on Steve McQueen spinners , 1 oz Peekwi Chieftain and 4 inch sassy shad with 1 oz heads from www.moestackleshop.com ... In 12-24 ft water ...�

Early morning schooling on flats and coves .... Later move to windward points and the back side of ridges and humps for fish laying on bottom ... I have been down rigging for the hybrids , baits around 19-20 ft ... The best slab bite for me has been to toss it out and lift it back, almost a horizontal presentation instead of straight vertical,... Sometime the toss out and burn back as done well also ... The fish are not in huge schools when swabbing ... It's almost like sniper fishing ... Pick them off methodically i have dates open so give me a call �

And please remember ... In the mornings we have caught a lot of small hybrids... Please know the difference

Had repeat guest Greg and Blake and they also brought there wives for a little fishing Greg has been fishing with me for years and he is not the early type they did manage to get there by 7:00 am and we headed out . Saturday was one of the prettiest mornings in a while ... It was nice and cool , wind and very pleasant for August . Started out at the flats and the fish did not show , moved to another area and there they were we had them to ourselves for a little bit and as the fish started shallow they moved deeper but the little lying birds showed us they were there when that stopped we went looking and did manage some slab fish on a few spots .... Electronics helped as they where hugging the bottom pretty well.. Greg and the gang had some thing to do and he never fishes long , headed in at 10:15 am ... His choice ... A bunch of small hybrids mixed in again so be careful ... All fish were released �

Had repeat guest Brad " flyboy" and his dad Gary ... You know .... You have a front comes thru , winds change and the fishing is fine ... You have clouds move in , normal south wind and it changed everything up fishing was tougher today but we did manage to hook Brad up with some fish on his fly rod ... We used a lot of gas and fished a lot of spots .... Later on in the morning I did find the mother load of 8 inch white bass , so thick you slab couldn't make it to the bottom ... Not a horrible day considering we targeted fish that could be caught with a fly rod ... All fish released �



I am ready for fall and some hybrids ... The white bass need to grow also water temp was a chilly 85 degrees and winds were north one day and south the next ... Caught fish in 2-21 ft water ... www.moestackleshop.com was the lures we used ... SSS and 3/4 godfather .... Flies used were clouser chart/white ... Seen a lot today dragging hell pets ... And the wind was pretty strong at times ....�

Great report John. Thanks

Forgot to mention .... The pic with the little yellow bass ... It still amazes me how such a little fish will hit a lure almost as big as him

LOL Yes I know I got 8 of them yesterday with a 2 ounce godfather slab --LOL--

Good job JV as always

Didn't see you this morning JV but you were right alot of dinks. Thanks for sharing

Great report John. I guess I need to start dragging balls in the summertime if I plan on catching big Hybrids. I better start looking for some down riggers.

You were right, Saturday morning was the best weather day I have seen in several months, temp was 77 degrees. It felt awesome.
