Spent this week fishing of a place I've had success before. A Berkley Powerbait BEAST was the bait of choice. Wind, clouds and Cooler temps seemed to trigger a solid bite. I don't get to flip / pitch much here, (other than a few docks) but with the wind blowing on a reed / lily pad field - it was on. I'm going to hate to see summer end . . . . . . .

Excellent outing. Your stirring my juices as always.

Great fun pulling the hawgs out of the slop with braid

Wow A-Jay, excellent bunch of fish and dragging those from the slop had to be REDICULOUS FUN WTG

Great looking catch A-Jay!

Thanks guys -

It was fun, and yes jignfule, it was braid

When you don't have to deal with fish in that stuff much, it doesn't take long to realize how crucial heavy gear is, even for 3-4 lb fish. I was blow'n a few at the start - a wimpy hook set and I wasn't moving them my way fast enough. So they were beating be up a bit. Went back to the truck, switched to a faster reel and the meat stick, adjusted my attitude up to "break the jaw and crank your butt off" and faired a bit better. Fortunately the bass were kind enough to let me get more practice.
