It was a beautiful weekend for fishing, on Saturday I was weigh master for a open team tournament with 39 boats. There were 19 limits 387lb. of bass and a winning bag of 23.61 lbs. with a big bass of 6.30lb. The avarage bass weighed in was 3lb.When asked, what the bass were caught on the majority said a top water soft bait called a Flappin Shad by Gambler(my favorite).For the most, the bass were very aggressive but wouldn't eat, the explosion were forceful,but the odds were 1-4 in the boat. I found that after they missed the flapper I would fallow with a worm or fluke,that they would eat. Most of the fish were caught on the south end of the lake.
On Sunday the Lake was flat,the weather beautiful and a light north wind, a perfect day.I headed out to a different location to find better results. Once there my partner struck first with a nice 4lb. on a,what else,Flappin Shad. We had a big bass over 6lb. that hit on a scum frog that I threw on top of a boil. I just let it sit, waited 5-10 seconds I saw her under the bait,one twitch and she was mine. There were a lot more big bass to be caught in this location, I feel when they settle down to spawn in the next few weeks they'll eat and I'll be there. Hawghunter Guide Service guides 7 days a week.
