I met Hal this morning at Moon Lake at 6 a.m. He has been catching fish on a swim jig and I wanted to get a swim jig lesson. Things started off slowly and continued that way. We started off in relatively shallow water fishing around cypress trees and roots. I started off with a Booyah and Hal was using about three baits trying to find out what would work. We fished most of the good shallow areas and then tried the deep water around the piers. The depth falls out gradually from the bank and then there is a good dropoff from 5 to 16 feet.  All along the shore there are fishing piers that stick out to just past the dropoff. We tried to figure out the deep fish but only caught one. About noon the weather started to act up with some thunderstorms in the area. We ran from one only to figure out we had placed ourselves right in front of it so we hightailed it back to where we started. A little past noon we pulled into a boathouse where we were out of the weather and had lunch. The storms moved through so we continued to fish but back in the shallow water that happened to be close to the landing. Round two of the thunderstorms chased us from the lake with a total of 9 bass, a crappie and a good swim jig lesson.
