Chick/BigBass/10-21

[jason]

I hit the Chick this morning around 8am for a few hours with my father-in-law in hopes of finding a morning bite for next Saturday's CFF Tx. In addition to being bitter cold and foggy, the wind made for difficult fishing. There was little to no surface action, so we started slinging SBs and traps in windblown coves. After dragging up an endless amount of slicks and only three keepers in our usual spots, we decided to try some deeper water before heading back in. On my first retrieve through a deep stumpy ditch, I got nailed by what I thought was a stupid cat. After the first jump, however, I knew I had a hawg on! At 8lbs 2oz, I think I just earned another entry into the CFF Hall of Fame emoParty.

Sorry about the picture quality. Of all the pics my father-in-law took, that one was by far the worst. However, it was the only one that kept the location somewhat of a mystery.

venom295pe, I can only wish for fish like that during our TxsemoLaugh. Your money is safe, I can assure you.

BassBullet, the bass was in 12 feet with shad and other bass suspended above it at around 6 feet.

Shameless Plug: I caught the bass on a 1/2oz Cutthroat Jig in the Bruised Melon pattern.

In all fairness, I also caught several slicks on a DJW spinnerbaitemoPoke.
