Went yesterday to Lake Lucas for second weekend in a row. This was BY FAR the nastiest I’ve ever seen that lake. Even after the hurricane it wasn’t this bad. Usually this lake is cleaner then other lakes around. Logs everywhere, trash floating. Could not believe it. Visibility was inches!

I had a few light nibbles but nothing good enough to catch. I tried spinners and a bunch of color combinations. Nothing worked but I did notice one thing. All the nibbles I did get were right after I just sprayed the jig with slab sauce. Is scent a bigger draw then spinners?
Repeated this several times. Sauce got them attracted for some reason but nothing hit hard.

I did spend 30 min or more fishing 50-100’ from bedded down deer. She knew I was there got up walked some and laid back down. She was enjoying the sun on the hill. We just watched each other. She finally got up and walked over the hilltop. I tried to get a photo but none turned out good. I was closer then this photo shows but she is in the circle.

Even though I was skunked AGAIN, I had a very enjoyable morning. Spending time out watching wildlife and the water is so calm and peaceful and so different from the wildlife at my house...
