Went on Friday and C-rig and tail spinner produced a bunch of fish, tips of points and humps in the middle of the lake.

Shakey head mostly. C-rig right behind that.

I'm mostly fishing deeper water.

But when fishing grass I've been doing ok with a weightless fluke and a punching rig.

I'm fishing mostly neighborhood ponds and Harris County parks first thing in the morning and sometimes in the early evening. Most have grass. By far I've had the most success with T-rig and 5" stick worms--either Yum Dingers or PowerBait MaxScent The General--in green pumpkin. Second place goes to Booyah Pad Crasher but only in really heavy grass and pads.

When I say "success" I mean maybe one or two 2 pounders per day. It's just too hot right now.

I feel like if I can fish until noon, then it is worth it.

Sunday it was windy and overcast in the Austin area at Bastrop. Lots of grass. Zara Spook early. Senko mid morning. Around 10:30 they started schooling and a yellow magic got 10 or 11. Total of about 17 fish. 3 pounds was the biggest. Off the water around 12:30. First time out in two weeks. Hopefully Fork will produce bigger bites this weekend!
