Henderson....10/23....5 Biggun's.....

Day started very slow....my favorite spot didn't produce real early so I moved to spot 2...picked up one 13" sac there.....lots of gaters there....ran across Jason (Swampers) and Chuck(CajunSlabStalker) .....thanks guys for stopping by and chatting.....great to see you again.....moved on to North Bigeaux....picked up about 8 small sacs.....kept 4 of them.....figured I better have something to go with that other big fish....went back to my first spot and started fishing with my real big shiners...those things really bounce the cork around like crazy,... then....bang...its gone....in 20 minutes I picked up 4 more hogs 13"-14"....lost 3 more at the boat...with the big shiners gone I tried the smaller shiners and they just didn't want them.....so, at 2:30 I quit for the day....kept 9 sacs...one bass...Didi gets to eat fish for another week.....

Now I'm jealous. Landlocked here with boat troubles and doctor visits for wife.

Some nice ones you got there ! I read somewhere that the bigger fish in the fall want a bigger bait over a small one . Maybe it's true .

You did not have to hide the bass. lol. Way better than the 20 mph winds all day yesterday for one small speckle trout and one small red. Did not keep either.

I used to be like that, but now sometimes I feel the need for human companionship. Still sometimes I don't like to see even another boat on the water. :)
