Thanks for the info everyone. Nimrod, Jim Shirley talked to a friend of his that said of Blue Mountain the spawn was done. His friend caught 40 fish, & most of his females were flat as a pancake. I'm gonna keep hittin' the water to search for them. I know that usually I have a couple of trees here at the house that always holds fish during the spawn, & they haven't held fish for more than 3 weeks. I fished horseshoe yesterday, and their fish still had some eggs, but the weird thing was their intestines were jet black, like they had been eating a bug hatch of some kind, like mayflies or something. I had to wash those fillets off. Sorry I didn't post any pics, they weren't hogs by any stretch of the imagination. I thought about Chris yesterday while fishing Horseshoe. The water is sort of dark... but clear. lots of cypress trees. We didn't have any minnows, but I had those fin's (bubble belly lookin grub) in pink. Those fish hit those pretty well. I had to change up several times to get on it. I went black/chart, blue/white, natural, even did swimbaits for a while. The fish were just real finicky. We finally ran into a group around noon, but they were mostly dinks. I wound up keeping 16, & threw back at least that many. I had the wife & sister-in-law with me, & they had a great time. I am always my wife's fishing guide. I told her yesterday I'm gonna take her to greeson & take a trip w/ jerry or darryl so I can take a break from guiding her!
