Had the chance to fish with good friend and fellow mod Sharon on Friday. She was off all week on vacation and I do not get the chance to fish with her too much anymore because of scheduals. I did inform her that fishing would most likely not be very good but she said she wanted to "just go fishing" Well , for all the guys that post a topic asking "should I go " this just proves my point... you can not catch fish sitting on the couch!!!!!!!!!! We started out with post front conditions ,but we had the clouds and wind on our side. Found fish on flats and we did pretty well. The bite was light and a lot of short strikes. Nice hybrids and shorts plus a mixture of whites... most legal and only a few small ones. We would then mark good schools on the graph in depper water and slab them up... We caught fish on a plethora of lures with soft plastics being the best on hybrids. The liked the smaller profile CO-HO and the larger fiesta slab from MOE'S along with the fast Ally spinner bait ...go figure All fish caught in 2-22ft water and water temps were 68 degrees.... N winds 15-20mph.. I can tell you this ....when the sun came out they shut down ...

Fished with good friends "EL NITRO" and Gene reeves this morning. We wanted to see if we could catch some fish with the bright blue skies and little wind... first spot I hooked up with a hybrid and we all missed multiple fish. We moved to another area of the lake and started catching fish "EL" caught the only legal hybrid today I think and we caught many shorts. Whites were in the area also and Gene reeves slowed rolled a spinner type bait a wooped us on that deal I had my best luck with the CO-HO today and the proto slab from MOE'S. Everybody had stuff to do so we called it quits at 9:00 am. All fish caught on a CO-HO's, SSS Slabs , 3" sassys from MOE'S and a spinner type bait from BP in 2-16 ft water. Water temps was 68-70 degrees and wins were N 2-5 mph..sorry no pics today...
Guys, the fishing will only get better.... now, the only problem will be a consitant pattern. Some days we will kill them and some days might be tough. Once November gets here it will be really good...
