Well the wind gusts were 15+mph, and the water's getting warmer. 79.5° when I got there, and 81° when I left. There were a half dozen Bassboats there today and they spotlocked on the deep humps. Between them and the wind I couldn't fish the deepwater spots so I had to stick to the blowdowns and the banks. Only one Largemouth dink in the north coves, and a 1lb Smallie off my tree cove. Went down to the 3rd Island and got a 1.5lb Largemouth, and missed another. Went back up to my tree cove and worked every angle. Got rewarded with the fish of the day, a 2.75lb Largemouth. Worked the rest of the Northwest shore back to the North coves. Got bit off by a big toothy critter in a Main lake cove along the way. He took line 3x before shredding the leader. That was the last action of the day, so I called it and came home.

Looks like you had fun even if you couldn’t hit all your spots. Nice pics

Nice couple fish Fred!
Were the guys parked on the holes/humps doing any good?

Thanks Jwid. The only one I saw catch a couple, was a guy I spoke to at the ramp in the morning. I didn't hang around watching the others much, on the move looking for fish. The 2 I saw him catch were decent sized, maybe 3lbs.

Thanks Andy. Yeah they are the way to go in deeper water. My next boat will have that, as well as Talons for shallow water.
I don't even try explaining that stuff anymore.LOL. You have a pleasant evening as well my friend.

Well at least you have a story to tell. I don’t even have that. I’m waiting for the end of August and into September, October like I was last year. It’s so hot, it’s hard to breath and then there’s the humidity.

You guys gotta start night fishing like Texas Womack. He's catching HAWGS at night down there.

Unlike TW, the closest place to fishing fresh water HAWGS is two hours North and saltwater is out of the question with me.

It got into high 90’s overnight Cam. Never seen anything like it. The water got warm quick, now it’s hot. Anyone going out in a boat can’t be on the water but about three hours and that plus the high gas prices don’t make it worth the trip. It’s not like in the north with close lakes from other states and in their own state. I’m jealous. I’ll admit it. I was going to try out Friendswood lake but it was hot and steamy when I woke up at 0530 this morning.
