Super User Dwight Hottle Posted May 20, 2013 Super User Posted May 20, 2013 Well Speedbead shamed me into getting out there and doing a little fishing. Actually I was scouting some areas for my next outing. Tried one of my old areas & found nothing. Decided to make a long run as the wind was offshore SSW. Set out a dead stick with a staysee while I worked a high bait that I was holding. Got bit on the worked bait & the first fish was a 4.75 lber. The lake went flat & the bite started. Ended up with 4 over four lbs, 2 over 5lbs & a 6-1lber. Best five went 25lbs-14 oz. The wind switched to the east & shut the bite down about 3pm. Water surface temps went from 51 degrees to 59 degrees while I was out. 2 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 20, 2013 Super User Posted May 20, 2013 Nice job Dwight - looks like me and the boys must have been holding you back. As soon as you dumped the dead weight - You're Bagging Bronze. No Jambalaya for you. A-Jay 1 Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted May 21, 2013 Super User Posted May 21, 2013 25-14 huh? Why are you doing so poorly? Geez, If that doesn't make us mere mortals feel bad, I don't know what would. Yesterday my 5 fish would have been 15-7. And in a smallie tournament I would have had 0lbs. Keep it up! BTW- what was the main jerkbait of the day? Jeff 1 Quote

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted May 21, 2013 Author Super User Posted May 21, 2013 What does it take to get a smile? A big seven or eight. Or that first DD on lake baccarac. 1 Quote
