Acually it's 2jigs. We hit the Riverpark this morning to chase some spots. Day started off well as within the first 10 minutes we each caught a keeper largemouth on topwater. After that it got pretty slow. We ended up with 16 in the boat and had 5 or so that got off on the way. We did manage two keeper spots to go along with the 2 largemouths. Probably would have done better but they had the rowing competition down town and for 3 miles it was not wake. That ate up about 1 hour of the day idling down and up the river. I did hook something huge on a jigging spoon that I could not get off bottom. It just swam back and forth under the boat unitl the hook pulled. Probably a 20+ lb drum. Most fish came off topwater, pig n jigs, jigging spoon, and white crank baits.

All in all not a bad day. The spot bite was very slow and we had to work hard for the 16 we did put in the boat. It was good to get to know 2jigs a little better and we will probably do it again real soon.

On a side note, we spoke to the game warden (who checked us and our spots in the livewell, we were clean) and he said there are no restrictions in Baylor Creek that he was aware of. He said as far as he was concerned it was fair game.
 
MrWiskers I enjoyed it. And we will do it again real soon. Maby next time they won't drop the water 3 feet on us the night before. You got me this time, on the spots at the least. But I'm not one to give up with out a fight. I'll take a rematch real soon. Give me a PM later. Thanks...2jigs...
 
Yea, slow as slow could be this morning! </p>

I think my partner and I got around 15 or so. Mainly smaller ones and 1 Smallie under 12" Kept 6 for a dinner.</p>

Good meeting you 2Jigs! Hope to see you guys again when the bite is really good!</p>
 
Yes, but isn't it fun to go after spots? And... they make such great table fare. I would put them right up there with crappie. Yum, Yum!!!

I agree 100%. By the way here are our numbers:

3 Largemouth larger than 12"
13 spots
1 smallmouth about 12" lost at boat
about 5 more spots lost at boat
 
MrWhiskers big flatheads love jigging spoons. Just ask Dhaun.
