Lake Jackson Again
Friday, May 13th, 2011 | Author: admin
Tommy and I went to Lake Jackson this morning, leaving at about 6:00 a.m. and getting to the lake about a half hour later. We started off with spinnerbaits and caught a few on the side that the road goes by. The fish that bit were right on the bank and you had to hit right on the bank to get them to bite. Almost to the dam Tommy caught this 3 1/2 pounder.
We continued to the dam and came back down the other side. When we hit the treeline where the trees were thick we caught a few quickly and I thought we had found the mother lode. That played out so we motored to the other side of the landing and to the roadside. Not much was going on there so we went to the West end of the lake. By this time we had switched to plastics, mine being a Baby Paca Craw. We caught a few by casting up to hit the tree and letting the bait drop down to the bottom. I caught the FOD a nice 4 – 7 doing that.
We caught 12 in all and quit around 1:00 p.m.. Afterward we had a great cheeseburger at Roy’s Store and came home. I also got word yesterday that Hal caught 36 at Enid, the FOD being a 4+ caught from my favorite spot.
