Thanks. It was a lot of fun. Not a lot of big hits considering the water was still cool though. I love when they just slam your hook and sink the bobber. A lot of nibbling today, and when the wind is keeping slack in your line, it makes it more difficult to dance that dance.
Typically, we throw the cast net for fresh shad. Today, we used worms. A friend of ours was in his boat using fresh shad and had about the same results. The three of us hit about ten each.
Went out to lake Conroe this morning. Windy as all get out but my brother and I caught about 30 cats along the damn. The water temp was 68 degrees, so still a little early for spawning, but definitely getting close.
This spring was the worst I’ve ever had for bass fishing. My parents neighborhood on lake Conroe has a few very large, well stocked bass. I never leave without catching a half dozen or so, but I was lucky to get one or two this season. I even tried a couple weeks ago to work topwater in the evening but didn’t catch a thing. Very strange.
The part of the dam that I circled typically does well for catfish. Just move up and down the rocks in the early morning. Use a bobber and fish about 3” feet deep. Cast as close to the rocks as you can get without getting hung. Also, the same method usually works well on diamond head (the top circled part). The problem with diamond head is that there’s typically a lot of boat traffic around that part so you need to be there at sunrise to avoid all that.
What were you using topwater? I haven't had any luck topwater out here.
The last few years we’ve been killing bass on pop R’s late in the evening, right as the sun is going down. It just depends on the water temperature though. I think it’s too hot already for those.
Dude, why did you keep them?! Bass are for sport! HahaCaught two nice size bass in the neighborhood pond [emoji4]
Haha yep!
