My buddy just quit his job (got a new one that starts in a couple of weeks) and wanted to go fish for the evening – so I took him out to Bluebonnet for a little bit of topwater fishing as I hadn’t taken him out this year.
- Weather was nearby by died out just southeast of us – made for a nice cool evening with a little rain. As a result, I couldn’t take any pictures but we didn’t catch anything to have a fuss about.
- Pretty much the same pattern as Sunday – topwater around the edges of the weeds – though they weren’t into the spook as much this time – we mostly used a Pop-R and they would tend to hit it right when it hit the water or the first pop after the inital ripples died.
- I did throw the magnum spook for a bit and I did get a really good 4+lb fish (saw it when it jumped out of the water, but it pulled own into a weed bed and I couldn’t horse it out. By the time I got the boat over to it, it was gone.
- The fish moved shallower into the weeds where we couldn’t get the boat to after the first couple of hours. There were some smaller .5-1lb fish in the canal schooled up off s shallow edge that runs through it about halfway down. We wore those out for a bit (he doeesn’t care about size, just likes to catch them). I let Carl do most of the catching and told him where to throw once i hit 10 fish.
- We did get a few casts in at the Valley and I caught two – one by the dam and one in the shallow end on the other side. Both decent fish. I did lose a fish off my spook – I guess the split ring popped off when I moved the rods into the car and I didn’t check, it pulled it off. I heard it jump twice with it still in its mouth (could hear the knock).
- Some people may be saying this dude fishes alot – and yes, yes I do. I have three loves – family, fishing, and boxing. It is all I do. I can’t box right now with a torn ACL, so this is it. I’ll get the ACL repaired when winter comes. I don’t mind the heat and I can fish with my family and friends. As an attorney, I get alot of stressful stuff that happens and this is my primary outlet rather than drinking etc. I wake up early, get my work done and if I can, I’ll go fish!
