Fish are eatingggg!

A friend and I also had a great day yesterday on a small lake by the house. We caught several 3-4 pound fish and a 6.26. All on a trap and a jig. Another guy in a Sabre noticed my Cat and came over to ask if I could take a picture of his 8 pounder. Great day on the water and got to meet another fellow BassCatter.Last edited by Mainliner61 on November 10th, 2014, 2:47 am, edited 1 time in total.

I think its about time to do it again. Youd love the Fouke/Texarkana area….. you have Patman and Millwood very close. (Millwood is my favorite lake in the world even though its nearly a 2 hour drive for me now. Ive made the Fork trip every May for the last 8 years , and I ding dang sure got my heart broke this year . — But I guess thats what keeps me going back . — Havent broken that magic 10 lb. mark yet , but Ive gotten pretty close a couple of times . — This year was it , but that ol sow jumped 3 feet in the air , winked at me ( I swear it !! ) , and spit my lizard right back at me !!! — She was at least a 10 , and mightve pushed 12 , but then theyre always bigger when you DONT catch them . — Maybe next year !?!?!? — Hoss

All I could see was a quick glimpse as she bulldoged right beside the boat but she was easily in the 12-13 lb range. way bigger than anything Ive ever tied into before. broke 20 lb mono like it was 6lb. my dad caught a 9+ that day and I was happy for him but all I could think about was how much bigger that one I lost was……..Cant wait to get back there.Ill be there the first week of May for the ( hopefully ) topwater bite , but Ill do whatever it takes to get on em . — Biggest problem the last few years has been the lake level . — Kinda funny how they can keep it close to 5 feet low , but it never fills up . — Whats the deal there , huh ?????
