Brazos River 8-30-11
All right, arrived at the bridge at 05:40 and was fishing right at light. I started out going down stream and threw a PoP R and got some blow ups but no takers. Then I switched to a Fluke and stuck some small largemouth and broke off two on 8# test. The I switched to a Bill Norman crank and got all kinds of bites. I caught Spots, Largemouth, Smallmouth, 2 Channel cats and 2 Drum and tons of Sandies large and small, Bluegill, Green Sunfish and Longear. I caught over 30 fish today, lost count. I am trying to target Smallmouth and Largemouth, but everything was willing to bite. I have not figured out rhe Smallmouth pattrern until today. I caught 13 Smallmouth, all were small. I had a 2# Smallie on, but he jumped and spit it back at me. I caught a lot of Largemouth and spots, mostly in the 1# range. I missed a few fish today that I don't stick. I lost several ok fish that jumped and spit them back at me, aaaggggghhhh! I did manage to stick one 21" long and weighed 5#13oz on a Senko before I left. At noo I noticed the fire starting and a few hours later it was really big. The smoke blocked the Sun to the point that I did not get all that hot. There were airplanes and helicopters all over the place trying to put out the fire. The firetrucks and Forestry Service dozers and equipment started rolling in. The fire was very close, as ash was falling all over me. I left and got backto the truck around 5:00 and the Sherrif was waiting for me to make sure I got out. Highway 16 was closed when I left, barely made it out.! Here are a few pics...
