Hit'em Hard & Fast Today
I rolled out a new oversized Shad plastic today because yesterday I killed (and kept) a dozen shorts that swallowed the hooks. So many shorts were smoking a BGBS even with larger hooks I went to a larger bait. A significant reduction in bites overall but I only killed 1 short today. I'm sticking to the bigger baits till it cost me.

Thick Blacks again today. My new bait certainly had a Cull Factor.

This is not just longer but more a blown up BGBS. Got them from BPS.

Yeti 45 looks good with a pile of Sacalait inside. Kept 22 today. I'm taking a Bud who tore his rotator cuff. So far he's good with one arm and mostly healed in the other. Hopefully a post will follow.

Cleaned fish today. Some were still almost like fresh out of the water. I wait till they are stiff to clean, well that can take a while in winter.

I like to stack the fillets Slabs on the left to Shorts on the right so they are already sorted. Some Hammers are getting Baked this weekend.

Still Catching, a little slower today I think due to the number of big Bass boats running the little waterway. Fishing the tidal backwaters is fine during the week when it's quiet but I find the better fish especially move deep and get lockjaw with the extra big boat traffic.

Managed to wrangle this 1.54 pound Brute (for where I'm fishing) out of a cluster of tree limbs. I was a little excited when I got'em out twice only to have the fish run right back in. With the water so clear I could see the fish running but it wouldn't come up to the top without putting up a serious fight. Personal best in those waters for me and I have fished them for over 20 years. It's always nice to catch a new Personal Best.

Congrats. Thats a good one.

Nice catch bud, and thanks for the tips on larger baits. I found the same results as well.
Got tricked a little this week, finally figured out the fish are moving shallow already, really shallow into spawning grounds, in the two big “P” rivers.
Need to learn to move quicker to different waters this time of year rather than wasting time trying to make them where they are not.
