Well we have been having awesome weather down here in Texas..... calm sunny and about 80d. every day......

Left about 4pm..... pond is about 5 acres.... fished a new area caught 4 on flukes and powerworms......

There is an old fishing dock sitting down on the lower end of the lake which has been my best honey hole..... got a couple good bites on the powerworm but they really wanted the fluke......

Caught around 7 by the dock...... and then bam..... looked 5 lbs. but weighed it and was 3.5 lbs....... stripped a lot of drag off my President spinning reel....... earlier had drag set too tight and got my line broke again......

Around sundown went down towards the dam and caught 7 or 8 dinks... and called it a day.......

Took a friend but was hard headed and wouldn't switch lures.... oh well he caught 1 dink....... on a roostertail.......

Only made 1 adjustment the entire day...... earlier when the sun was up and real bright outside... had a split shot on and was sinking the bait down say 3-5 feet........

Late before sundown- went weightless as a lot of bass were feeding on top...... and bam started catching them again.......

Anyways still dreaming of the one right before I left that was stripping drag like crazy but pulled off the hook.... dang why do I always remember the one that got away.........

sounds like a real good trip to me.  you'll get that big 'un next time.  way to go man.

thanks Paul......... I've got my drag set right for my spinning rod so I won't get broke off again....... I fish a lot of baitcasters with a tight drag, so it's been hard to get used to fishing with a loose drag......

Good luck on your trophy quest..... hope you catch even bigger ones in the years to come.
