Slab day at Talquin

Today Eileen and I caught some real nice slabs, we didn't get any 2 lb. fish but several were just a few ounces from 2 pounds. All fish were caught long lining in 30' to 35', the fish were hanging close to the bottom. We had a good morning with boating 26 and several of them were 14" plus. The closes one to 2lbs. was a 14 3/4 that weighted 1.87lbs and several others were right at 1 3/4 lbs. The evening bite was also good and we managed to boat 15 more, how ever the size was not as good as the morning fish. It was a great day to be on the water, the fishing was just a bonus. This morning I called TNT's uncle Ken to see if he wanted some fish and he said yes so we took him some, very nice man. The rest of our catch was catch and release. With weather coming in tomorrow I may take a day off and go to bass pro for some line and 1/4 oz jig heads, sorry Curtis, I only need a dozen and I cant wait until next week. I will stock up your light wire jigs next year when I come down. Love those litewire hooks, I lost over 100 jigs until I got some from Curtis, sense than I only lost about 2 dozen.
