Lake Whittington, 39.9 Arkansas City
Friday, May 29th, 2009 | Author: admin
Started fishing this morning at about 9:30. Late start was due to getting Gayden Bishop to the airport. By noon, I had caught 3 bass with a FOD of 5 lbs 2 oz. The FOD fell for a ribbit, while the others were caught on a swimbait and a worm. It appeared they were at the end of their major period when I got there. A goo came up and attacked the swimbait right at the boat and then quickly spit it out while I watched. A lot of halfhearted bites. Lake is falling and it’s only going to get better. A rumor has it that a “box full of bass” was caught on Whittington on a topwater and a spinnerbait by an unnamed party. Also of interest, I understand the Skinny Lawyer caught a bass on the first cast with the swimbait I gave him. The fish hit before the bait hit the bottom. He was fishing in a pond with Billy Johnson who told me the story.
