bassman31783 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Got a chance to get out on the water this past Sat & have some fun fishing with my father-in-law. Decided to switch it up this time & not go to Fork due to the weekend traffic that lake gets. I'll tell you what, it's hard fishing other lakes knowing that Fork is just right down the road but we went for it. We decided to fish a lake called Lake Hawkins. It's a beautiful lake. Spring fed, very clear (for a texas lake), and loads of vegetation. Never had much luck on this lake for numbers but have always left with having boated at least one toad. Sat was no diff. Caught this beauty flipping a beaver with a 1oz tungsten weight pegged anywhere there were pads meeting up to matts of grass. If you look at the pic I caught her right above where the tip of her tail is. Not 10 casts earlier I lost one equally as big if not bigger. Sadly that was the only fish of the day but she made the trip worth while. 1 Quote

Super User Montanaro Posted August 26, 2013 Super User Posted August 26, 2013 1 oz weight for that little cover? Guess it worked for ya. She hit it on the fall, or on bottom, or did you jiggle the beaver before she picked it up. Quote

Anything less then an ounce wasn't getting through the thicker stuff. Had to jig it up and down. Quote
