    Default Action was HOT last night,


    Went EARLY yesterday morning ONLY to get at the lake and see a bass tournament getting under way, at 6;00 a.m., At LP, went up to W to launch. Forgot my electronics, so I trolled the flats with crank baits, caught two / 2 nice keepers, after a couple of hours, loaded up and went home until late evening. Went back up around 6;00 p.m. with my electronics. Trolled the flats 5 - 7 ft fow, the bite was onnnnn, 1/2 oz Rattle traps', some hits, felt like the fish was going to pull my shoulder out of socket !!!!! Violent strikes, attacks. After all of the weekend boat traffic left and the lake calmed down, very little wind, beautiful night, stayed until 9;00 p.m., here are pics of last night's catch. Name:  20160605_223117.jpg

    Whites are a lot of action if you run into schools of them. That 15 limit can be filled very quick though

    One should seek to get their limits by sorting and releasing the smaller fish, NOT just keeping the 15 limit. I was there earlier and two elderly men were keeping short fish, 7 - 10 inches, when it should have been the 14 plus, THERE are alot of 14 plus I alone have caught. I want 15 WITH SOME MEAT, on them. 10 - 12 inch are too small to keep. And the schools, are fleeting and one has to have 3 poles in the water when there is a school, they come quickly and disappear just as as fast the as the shad leave. IT seems (?) as the bigger white bass are at the very bottom of any school or ball of shad or when one's crank bait is kicking / dragging the bottom.

    I have a bro in law that says when he is fishing for whites he has a balloon on one end of some fishing line and a safety pin on the other and when he catches his first white he attaches the safety pin through the dorsal fin and puts fish back into water , then follows ballon and keeps up with where the school is that way ,

    Curt, I never heard of the balloon trick before. Interesting.
