Whew...I havent been on this site in forever!

I just got back a few days ago from a 3 day trip to East Texas. I fished on a private lake my grandparents live on and caught around 20 or so bass over the time I was there. The first night I walked out on the dock and caught 2 around 3.5 lbs on my first 2 casts (might have even been the same fish, I dont know) on an 5" stick. I honestly dont know what the name of the color was, its a dark brown with black flecks, and I used it off the boat for about an hour the next day and caught about 7 more around 1-2 lbs. I didnt use a weight and just fished them slowly around half the lake. The next day I did the same thing for about another hour and didnt get a single bite so I switched to a red with black flaked Senko and fished it even slower and caught a couple in the 2-3lb range.

I also used a white pearl slugo and a white fluke off the dock and caught one or two, and also hooked a really nice one around 5-6 lbs from what I could see but of course it jumped and spit the hook  :'(

I didnt get to fish as much as I wanted to because of a cold front and I was sick but the fishing I did get in was awesome and it was my first time using the *** sticks I'd had for over a year and they performed really well!

Sick or not, you got some fishin' in and didn't get skunked.  Not too bad of a trip  8-)

Agreed.  Nice job.  Sorry about our stupid changing weather.   

Haha it was crazy. Flew into Houston on the 13th and it was about 70, next day was around the same and drove up to Murchison, nice and warm there too, then the next day a cold front moved in in the morning and was gone by the afternoon, then it was raining the 16th, 17th it was sunny again...crazy weather.
