Chicot

Jackson and I convened at the ramp on Lake Chicot at 5;45 this morning with ideas of a repeat of our 103 trip. He fished there yesterday with his son and caught 15, so we were worried about the two good spots Jackson had found being worn out. Sure enough, we only caught one or two in both spots.  We decided to go look for the squirrel log where he had seen the bass hit at the squirrel as it ran down the log for the bank.  As we arrived the bass surfaced chasing shad. We caught about 15 there before the fish quit/moved (you never know which). Keeping on down that bank we ran into some more activity where we caught 18. Most of the fish to this point were caught on a small rattletrap and a Little John shallow crankbait. Leaving there we returned to the log where we didn’t catch any or many, I can’t remember which. After that we went to the bridge over the lake and some docks. The docks held a few fish which would bite a worm, or in Jackson’s case a creature bait.  As we returned to try our new spots again we saw schooling activity about 100 yards away, so the correct choice above must have been “moved”.  I had on a Scrounger jig head with a Calin grub on behind.  They loved the scrounger, and seemed to hang on to it better than anything else I had fished with all day.  We ended the day with 64 bass, mostly small and a FOD of 3 pounds. Another fun day on Lake Chicot.
