Hope y'all had a great Father's Day weekend. A few of us were able to get out to South Lake Saturday morning. We were on the water by 6:45am...just in time for the morning top water bite. It was very humid from the storms but the cloud cover was a nice break from the sun. Winds were calm for most of the day.

I started out fishing the NE corner of the lake, throwing my good ole hula popper in the pockets clear of the heavy vegetation. I ended up with 5 on the day, 3 on the hula popper and 2 on drop shot finesse worm. Nothing of any size, but I wasn't complaining. Also had several misses on the frog. Nothing like that surface explosion. We were off the water by 11am.

After South Lake and a quick bite at Whataburger, I headed over to my ponds to close out the day. I ended up fishing til 4pm and left em biting. I lost count after # 12. They couldn't resist the dual drop shot worm setup I was using. I alternated between zoom watermelon red finesse worm and green pumpkin trick worm. I almost exclusively fish worms TX rigged but I have to say, this drop shot technique was very efficient and very fun. Probably not anything new but I tied 2 #6 hooks/worms on the drop shot about 12" apart from one another. Two worms = double your chances, right?

Was a fun day for sure but I forgot to wear sun screen!

Some pics of the weekend:

Awesome pics!

MAN I need to try out the drop shot rig. Been seeing a lot of people do well on that. Hadn't thought of a double... I like your thought process there.

Is that the best way to rig the worm on the hook for the drop shot?

Great picks!

It was a good time on South Lake. I got to slime the kayak for the first time also! I ended up with 3 on a watermelon red wacky rigged senko, missed a bunch more but oh well, there is alwas next time. It was good to meet you guys and look forward to doing it again. Thanks for the invite.

Nice shot and fish

good stuff James!

Chris - Sometimes I feel I blog on TFF. All the time I spend posting here, I should post on my blog.

LOL! Maybe so. Copy and paste might work too!

Hula Popper! Good job James and eeds and nice pics. Lots of folks out there in the a.m.

I experimented. Hooked the worm at the tip, then hooked the worm in the middle. All worked just fine.

congrats on the nice weekend.
enjoyed the pics
especially this one
