Been testing the garlic juice (G-Sauce) lots , been using my Lews speed spin quite often as well . Love them both I have to say . The Lews has a great action for crappie and the juice makes them want my jigs .
Hit the state park today
...
So its really pretty yesterday evening and the wind lies down to not much and I bake some crappie and asparagus and pasta for dinner . I tell the other half I probably need to go do the dark thirty thing after dinner as its likely they are
...
So here comes a big ole spring thunderstorm and a north whipping wind behind it . I decided to wait and let it pass and hit the water after it went thru . Man did it chill down and man did it blow and you know what ?

Is the new gig here in Texas . There are some days when we find them in numbers and there are days it just isn't happening . Some days they are nice fish , but as of lately most are not much for size on my visits . The good news is I do get

I finally found a few small fish in the dark at one of my old favorite dark thirty spots . The other side of the lake was a zero dark thirty yellow bass fiasco though and the ones I did find on the opposite side of the lake were pretty small

So without any information
...
So here we go , I am on my lunch break and down at a spot that's popular on a creek . Trucks lined up forever and I say oh my I do think there is a bite today . I watch 3 fellas head toward my favorite location and sigh ....they go kinda fast
...

Now mind you once again I ain't talking about some person in the state next door drinking to much . I was actually testing some of the "sauce" again in a different scenario with Arkie solid body tubes in a straight pearl color on
