Derek and I got there after most and had boat 26 on the blast off. We decided after everyone left out of Chester and we were the only boat in the area we just stayed there. 
Had a limit in about an hour. It was nothing big but about 6.5 to 7 pounds with three small keepers. Try as we did we just could not find any size in the Dallas Bay area. Caught several bass but just no size. Tried worms, shakeys, cranks, spooks and c-rigs but nothing seemed to work. We finally left there and went in search of some better size bass. We hit a couple deep places but with all the nuts we did not fish them. emoCrazy Headed for calmer more out of traffic water. I think we caught about 20 to 25 bass today. That is actually slower then it has been. I am pretty sure we had nine keeper LM, one keeper spot and one short smallie, the rest were short LM. We managed a couple on top but size was just lacking for us today. Finally about 11:00 I made a cast to a point of an underwater grass flat and my line loaded up. I set the hook and knew it was a good one. The bass bull dogged on me and went down and out to deeper water. I told Derek to get the net ready cause that was the exact same thing that 8/4 did to me a couple weeks ago. I loosened the drag and played it for a bit. Finally caught a glimpse of it and it was a good one. Got it on top and Derek got the net under her. She was 6/9 and with her we culled our smallest little keeper. emoThumbsup Maybe about 45 minutes later the same thing happens to Derek. He at first said he did not know if he needed the net. Then she pulled drag and I went for the net. Nice bass came up and I netted it. emoTongue Our second small keeper now gets culled. His was 3/8. I kept telling Derek I know we are going to get a check with those three but we needed to cull that other two pounder to feel safe about winning it. Try as we did we hit several other places but never had a keeper bigger then 2/6 which was the last small keeper from that morning.
We came in with 12.70 to take second behind first who had 12.72. emoDoh Good Lord!!! Beat again by just a hair, 2 one hundredths of a pound. emoRolleyes Did get big bass with my 6/9 so we came away with a nice little amount of cash today. It was a zoo out there but it really seemed to me it was getting bad about noon so most of the morning was pretty nice. emoToast
Thanks to all who fished it and the officers for another job well done. emoThanks Jmax
