CooperJD and I hit the G today.

We started out in Roseberry and fished some grass that Tater and I nailed in last week. Nothing, fish moving everywhere shad being knocked a mile in the air. We threw everything, no bites. We moved out to the channel mouth and started getting bit good on a spook and chug bug... missed a few, not good hits, and Coop got a 3 lber on a spook. Then MY ANGER LEVEL ABOUT GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK. A dude (and I know him and I can't wait to see him) in a Triton flew full throttle in between my boat and the grass line (10 yards) cutting coop's line, and wetting his pants. I can't wait to see John Doe at the gym tommorow.

Needless to say I had to leave, and we trailored to Mink Creek... fished the same boathouses everyone does, lost a nice fish at the boat on a swimming worm. We moved onto an offshore hump, and nailed a fat Largemouth, pictured below on a 10" worm rigged on a spot sticker... swimming. Left the area alone for this weekend, and headed for lunch at Waterfront.

Saw Curt Statley, local guide, at lunch, talked with him for a while... he landed over 20 bass most 3 lbs, with a couple of 5 lbers, flipping creature baits into main channel grass pockets. Being the kind of fisherman we are Coop and I hopped in the boat to do the same.... nothing much here, Coop lost a good fish in a clump of milfoil.
Decided to head back to a honey hole in South Sauty, and boated two fat 14 99/100 inch Largemouths.

Headed in and trailored to Honeycomb... by this time it was 4 and we were whooped, fished deep grass with jigs, worms and topwater, no bites... headed home pretty happy with the fish we found. We basically spent 70% of our time marked spots, and structure, and finding places for this weekend and our upcoming tourneys.

Jmax, is that detailed enough? emoLaugh

p.s. Please no "pants sagging" comments. Having dropped 40 lbs, most of my clothes don't fit quite right :) Sorry guys... but my hero is the Spinnerbait Kid.
 
Sounds like a fun day there, Kid ... errr ... Bprice! I was wondering where you were today. I just finished your order and will have a big sack of baits to drop in the mail to you tomorrow. emoThumbsup
 
Well, Bprice, I got the boat all packed up tonight, batteries charged, oil tank full, 1/8 tank of gas, 10 rods, 100 lbs of tackle, now just have to wait until 5 pm on Friday and hit the road running to Huntsville and the G'ville on Saturday. Can't wait!! Carl
 
Hey Bprice, do you think that Mr John Doe will be wetting his pants after you see him tomorrow at the gym? Some people are dumb. Some are ignorant, while others are just plain stupid. Occasionally, someone like John Doe will show up with all three traits. He probably thought it was funny to nearly run over someone and throw water on them.
 
Great report BPrice. Just want to worn you about fishing my honey holes in South Sauty. LOL Sounds like you had a great day, except for the issue with John Doe.
 
RR... Awesome man, I can't wait.

Carl, I'm locked and loaded buddy... I think we got some hot areas for us.

Drumking, he won't look at me like a man, I know thats the character of the guy.

SD! Man we need to fish South Sauty together... my honey hole didn't give me anything worth a flip today!

Grass???? How is it looking? On the STNA the main grass showing was along the river itself. However it appeared to be coming up in other areas as well. Compared to a couple weeks ago is it about the same or is it taking off???? I love that grass but it is hard to find them when they start to bury in it when the sun comes up. May be time to bust out the big jig and pig and start shaking the grass with an oz. or two.;) Jmax
 
Jmax,

Grass is getting thick along the channels of Roseberry, Mink, South Sauty, and North Sauty as you know... as well as the main river. Some of my humps are matting too... the grass looks good and healthy... although I did find some slimey grass in Mink, I was kinda disapointed. Yes, its about time to shake a jig or two :)
