No great reports flowing in, but I'm going to give it a shot in the morning. The Pelba chart looks like a crest starting. Might be wishful thinking.

Take some pics!!!
Well I only got one. It was 8' down in 14 FOW. Tightline in the clear water. Looks like the water is making a crest. Clear water is starting to emerge from territory West of McGee's.
When I met PS he only had one, but maybe he found them after that.
Wife and I caught 13, 7 were nice, 6 were on the small side
Nice job Pat! Looks like you have a nice cleaning station there.
I think you can be real proud of that catch from what I saw and in talking to others.Quote:

Thanks, SlabJiggin - It is a stainless 2'x4' table top and I have a stainless sink next to it. Comes in real handy not only for cleaning fish, but for cleaning deer and hogs during hunting season.
I salute you.....you did good......Quote:

Very nice pictures PS, I didn't know you did the trolling thing for sacs. Did you catch any that way? I haven't seen many people doing that in Henderson, maybe 1 or 2. Pat B, very nice set up, and thanks for the report. Me and my 4 yr old will be there on Saturday for the tournament at Cypress Cove. I don't know if he will make it until noon though, but we will give it a shot.
I do not normally do that....only a few times.....when you get desperate, you try everything....I was fishing shiners at the pipeline crossing at depths of 2 ft, 5 ft and 8 ft......hardly any wind so I just sat in one spot....water was black there.....caught a bream, bass and sac there....all small throw backs.....lost something about 6 ft from the boat.....Quote:

I second that opinion Mermentau....the last few trips I made with the water high, bite was slow and there bellies were full when I cleaned them.Quote:
