I took the week off and got to fish every day except Wednesday due to the rains and although I didn't catch a lot of fish, I have to say it was a good week and I learned a few things.
Today, my fishing partner joined me since he was off work but he had to be back at the ramp by noon since he had stuff to do. I figured if the fish were biting, I could drop him off and keep going but that point was moot when at 11:45 the rain we weren't supposed to get started coming down pretty hard and it was a cold rain too.
The good news is, we caught some fish and I caught more spots today than I've caught the entire 1 1/2 years I've been here. Most of them were dinks but one was decent enough size. I guess those spots like moving water because all of them came from around rocks in pretty good current, and all were caught on black, 4" senkos.
Since the river is still moving right along and the water is pretty dirty, we went to another lagoon we know about to get out of the current and did pretty good in there too, catching LM bass. The fish were real tight to cover, and in very shallow water too. All the fish we caught came out of about a foot of water and the only thing we caught them on were 4" senkos, black and also watermelon with red flakes, fished very slow.
Also got to see a gar just sitting near the surface, acting like it didn't have a worry in the world.
