Fished on Saturday February 18th.  When you go to a town like Ben Wheeler than hosts a Feral Hog Festival and selects a Hog Queen. That when fishing Twin Lakes you might expect to catch a Hog Queen in the spring. Well that didn't happen but here is what did.  We started fishing the east lake first.  We could never really locate the fish or what meal they would enjoy on this beautiful Saturday.  We just kept chunking our prizes at them.  Around lunch time we decided to move over to the west lake.  The final count for the east was 7 Bass on a variety of things, senkos, spinners, ribbits, flukes.  The bass ranged from one pound to 4.5 pounds.

The west started even slower than the east.  We first jumped in the boat to avoid the cow stampede. Which raises a question how many cows can you fit in a 12' Jon boat.  I was not about to find out as we headed to the dam area and struck out. As we moved towards the far end I could see the cows in a circle around our black truck wondering who was this new comer to the herd.  We start to locate some bass on ribbits and flukes.  At the far end we found them in the middle of the lake nothing near the shore.  Water depth was three to four feet and. Maybe three clarity.  We ended with 9 for the afternoon all around three pounds on our new purchase of a digital scale.  This was not a certified scale from the dept. of weights and measures but a Rapala on sale special. So now we have a camera and a scale which now makes our fishing a little more believable.  Here is a photo of the 4.5 pounder that ended up as Hog Queen for the day.
