11/8/14, Holey Land, 6:00 - Noon, Front came through, blue bird skies, no wind, full moon, water light stain, water levels up about 6".
Went out this morning with Dave(Canesfan), at first light. For three hours we had the entire place to ourselves. We ran to the east canal where the bite had been so good for weeks. It was apparent early that they weren't as willing to come out and play. We had a week cold front come through, a full moon, no cloud cover, and not a drop of wind all morning. All these add up to tough conditions. We did get some bites on a very shallow bite but almost all of these were dinks. Since I'm not fishing a tournament, a bite is always better then no bite. So we entertained ourselves with a bunch of shallow bites. At the first pump station I hooked into a nice chunk deep. There were several more chunks but they were far and few.
After a few hours we ran to the big lake. Dave mounted a comeback fishing the shallow edge. We left early because Dave had other commitments. We missed some good prime areas on the west side of the lake, but they will be there for another day. We finished with about 40 fish, and at least three chunks in the 2 pound range. it was a beautiful day for the beach, but not so much for catching. Cant wait to go again Tuesday.
