Mickey and I played hooky from church Sunday to go to the big bass Lake X. We launched at 6:00 so as not to miss any chance for a top water bite. The lake was slick and the water was just the way I like it, with about 2 feet of visibility. No top water bites though. I had seen a little movement and flipped a worm over it that direction and got a 5-1 out of the deal. A great start. A little later, Mickey was fishing in some logs underwater when he got a bite that took him into the logs. He persevered and coaxed the fish out and it was a 5-14. Right at 11 pounds right off the bat was a pretty good start. By then we figured out that the fish were close to the cover and started fishing all that we could see. We had a few more instances where the fish bit and immediately went down into the logs. I had some new line, Fluoroshield, that broke quite easily and it snapped some times when it should not have. Hanging up was just a fact of life, and when trying to shake your worm off, twice fish took it off for us. Caught some of those and missed some. It was obvious around 10:30 that someone flipped the switch and the bite was on. I was watching the depthfinder and we passed over a hump. When I mentioned it, Mickey threw a DT-6 over it, had a bite and the hook was thrown immediately. Not perturbed he threw back and caught one. We started fishing with the DT-6’s because the fish were out of hiding and out on the prowl. It was also obvious when things slowed down. The bite lasted about an hour and a half. In lake X you release all fish over 16 inches and keep all under 16. We released 4 and kept 4. Should have caught 16. The lake is extremely well done but just had some amateurs fishing on it Sunday.
