Lake Fork Day One and Two

Lake Fork Day One and Two
 We arrived around 7 AM Monday after the Mega Bass Tournament. We checked into the motel  Popes Landing. Then grabbed quick bite to eat then hit the water.

Day one we went into Little Mustang creek trying to figure out what stage the bass where in  and depth, We started in the back 1/3 of the creek Nanda and Rand Stack caught a few fish and me one hit on a Zombie shad. We relocated to mid creek and went shallow Randy  landed a nice fish but no other bites we relocated to Mustang with no other bites.

After dinner we had a strategy session?



2nd day We had decided to start out in 25 feet on a point leading into spawning grounds, we found the bait fish with the new HDS 7 (more later) but no fish (c-rig) we worked our way to shore, I started out with a T-rig worm nothing 2.5 hours into it I remembered there is a time of year that the most all the  fish are on shore whether to eat , to spawn or to get a sun tan. So I went weight less senko green pumpkin   T-rig without a weight. About fifteen minutes later first two fish then a few more the rest of the day we  caught fish in less than 2.5 feet of water Nanda also got some really nice fish on a Stanley 1/8 vibra shaft spinner bait. All and all we caught 30 fish  Randy was using a wacky rig senko  Sometimes there where doubles and even one triple  so one great day, smallest 3 pounds largest about 7.5 pounds








Now to my equipment Castaway Skeleton in the college series MH 7 foot  with a Diawa  Zillion  braid line with InvisX leader. Daiichi2/0 bleeding bait hook

The castaway Skeleton rod preformed flawless one the best rods I own this particular one is Maroon and white. 


Daiichi2/0 bleeding bait hook hitch hiker the red made a difference in the bite  I wore the red off one hook put a new one back on right back to catching fish.

I got several new reels this winter and man Diawa zillion with the skeleton is a rig that is easy to fish all day

Segar Fluorocarbon InvisX line is some great stuff I winched a 6 lb out of a brush pile and  it is my favorite line
 
Last but not least my Flying fisherman sunglass style Polaris the best glass I have ever owned and that is saying a lot

Ok Nanda and I are thinking about retiring in the next 5 years to the Lake ?  What Lake ??? We would love to retire at Lake Fork, Sam Rayburn or Richland Chambers.

One of coolest things I have gotten for fishing

One of coolest things I have gotten for fishing  Ok Yes my castaway rods and my new reels are cool also but Thanks to Randy Stack when we was at Lake Fork a few weeks back he had the best set up a GPS and Back up camera all in one. Ever since I purchased my 2011 Silverado the one regret that I had was no backup camera. Everyone that hooks up a boat know the back up till you get close
