Got to Jones Lake from Dallas about 7:30 and was fishing by 8:00AM. Beautiful morning with a light breeze out of the East that picked up during the morning. I really wanted to practice with my fly rod and tried a black popper and black wooly bugger. Caught several on the popper, one was 11" and the others small. When the bluegill stopped hitting, changed to a topwater plug and caught a couple LMB. Then changed to soft plastics. The bite was real soft, could barley feel them. I'm sure I missed some. One got almost to the boat before I even realizes he was on. Caught the largest on a small U-Tail Junebug worm fished finesse style, 2lb 12 oz. After lunch it was pretty slow and I pulled off the lake about 3:45. The bite may have picked up later in the evening, but I needed to head home.
The day was a little slow, but there will be great days on this small lake. Derek Jones, the owner, came to check on me as I was cleaning up, a real nice guy. He's working hard to improve the lake and grow big fish. All in all another great day. I hope to come back.
