    Default Tale of two lakes


    Started out on one big lake, moved along the bank probing brush and ended w 10 good ones in about 40 minutes. Then buddyfrom mark twain called who wanted to fish her lake between us so went to ramp to meet him and a neighbor. Now these r two confirmed minnow guys so let the games begin as I am a jigging dude.

    We went to a spot known to us under bridge and we tried the piers to no avail so I turned and hit the shore. KABOOM started as they were close in and I was ketchnnone after another but not keepers. Then u picked up one then another while the minnow guys were not.

    Then MAJOR KABOOM smacked my jig and thought it was a good bass b UT when b it got close saw it was a BIG SLAB. 14.5 incher. My friends abandoned minnows and wanted my jigs but still using bobbers while I was casting and tight line retrieves and still ketchn lots o almost fish.

    Had them move to other side of bridge and let me hit rip rap andc startrt walking around hunting. I went one side stillnketchn but no keepers then went on other which was windy side and started ketchn nicer keepers. Got 5 on that side.

    Friends came voter on boat ahead of me and Finally caught a couple keepers.

    Sun was brutal so we went back under bridge and in shade. Caught bunch more fish but no size. So time to end it.

    I ended up with limit and they had a few keepers. Jigs definitely won the day. I gave them most and kept 4 nice ones.Name:  20230523_110511.jpg

    BTW went back to first lake in evening to finish limit and did. But couple there were struggling ketchn and were using minnows. Course I stepped on the dock and immediately caught a nice keeper and wife said u know I hate you. I Said i get that a lot but gave her the fish and proceeded to give them a nice bunch to eat. So I was her new buddy now.
