Texas_Rig's Fishing Journal
Well this will be my official journal. I went to Center Hill today and just like the last couple trips there it was easy to get bit but hard to catch keepers. I caught a total of 16 bass today and not a single keeper. I measured all the ones that were close. All of the small fish I'm just estimating on length. I had a couple patterns going at the start but ultimately decided to just run the bank with a Topwater the second half of the day because I felt like that was the way to catch a couple good fish. I was wrong! I started off throwing a Strike King Sexy Dog Jr and towards the end of the day I had 4 or 5 fish in a row blow up on the bait and not eat it so I switched over to a popper and the fish started committing to the bait again. My cadence was very fast with both of the Topwater baits I was throwing. I was even walking the little popper like a walking bait.

Thank you Tex for deciding to do this...with detail like this you should consider starting a youtube page like Alpha. What y'all have chosen to do is an immeasurable benefit to the community. Was bait present on the points or transitions that caused you to pick those areas?

If I didn't know you made this statement I would bet the house it was Kevin VanDam. |

I actually love deep water fishing grew up fishing deeper water for walleye and yellow perch. Actually a little backwards I had to learn to bass fish shallow when I moved south 20 years ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
