This past week was a great catching few days on both Headwaters and Garcia. I tagged along with my friend John whom I fish with once a week.
We were hoping they would be chewing the day before the front and it didn’t take long for the fish to just show us that they were hungry. It really didn’t matter what we offered them for lures to use because everything we did tie on they ate it.
Fishing in a ditch where on the edge had a very good submerged hydrilla line and the fish were holding in the grass waiting for something to attack. The one lure that really surprised me the most is something I had to blow the dust off of because I purchased it years ago and really never gave it a chance.
The day before our outing I just had an idea to tie it on. It’s a small 1/8th oz. Jig in a crawfish pattern. Not only did the bass eat it but the Crappie loved it too. We then woven to much narrower ditches and switched over to soft plastic Stick Bait worms and crushed the bass. Biggest one was 7.11 pounds.
Once again a great bite pre front windy conditions. My next day after the front moved out and much calmer winds I was back on Garcia. My other old time friend fished with me. He religiously throws his Tiny Torpedo but I had other ideas and pulled out my Fly Rod with a chartreuse Gurgler that I tied. I had him 4 to nothing as of the first hour. We found an area that had hydrilla submerged and also topped out. Nothing bigger than 3 pounds but it was a great day to celebrate my day before birthday.
