Did not start fishing in the Private Hole until 12:30 today. I wanted to go earlier but things started happening to keep me from going and kept on happening until mid morning. One of the first baits I wanted to try was a new swim bait I bought the other day because I noticed there were no Bass Magic (my favorite) swim baits in the Bass Pro Shop. The first cast I made with it got a bite as the bait was falling to the bottom. I was not surprised when I set the hook there was no one home due to the fact there are so many small bass in the Private Hole. I unlimbered a shaky head and caught a few as well as a DT-6 that did well too. It seemed like there was a bit of a bite going on but nothing hot. After the first two hours I had 12 and then the lockjaw hit. I couldn’t even get the little ones to bite.  I tried a spot where Mickey and I caught a bunch of fish and only caught two. Our little (4 feet long) alligator friend was on post and when I approached him with the trolling motor he growled a little before he left. I went to another spot we had good luck and caught none. A move by the bank got my attention and I was able to catch four in one spot on the shaky head. Another bite came close by and when I set the hook there was something on that could not be easily moved. When it finally came into view, it was a goo weighing about 3 1/2 pounds. Continuing around the bank and changing over to a DT-6, I saw another movement by the bank. I made a cast to the movement and when the DT-6 hit the water, I saw a fish shoot over to it and inhale it. It was about a 3 pound carp or buffalo of some sort. I was more round and long than flat sided like a bream. As it got later in the day I went back to one of the good spots and the fish had gotten hungrier as had the mosquitoes. The mosquitoes were those teenincey little aggressive black ones. I was catching fish and swatting mosquitoes. Toward dark I finally decided to quit. I had 33 with a FOD that got away on the jump that would have weighed about 3 1/2. That happened the last trip there also.
