Thread: Lake Palestine is HOT right now

2 things in the post. Fishing and my new boat! haha. Went to buy a new used boat and well ended up with a new bass boat. This was Weds May 1st. I did my two hours of break in and decided I would try and fish for a short bit. By the way, the new 4 stroke engine is not hard to break in, but the fist hour, especially with a hotfoot is brutal as you can only go 1500 RPM's for a hour, then 3000 for the second hour. Anyway, decided to fish so I went to the 155 bridge, dropped about 12 feet down and did a slow troll around the pylons. I caught about 10 in an hour. The next day, I came out again with minnows. Did the same, slow troll under the bridge and limited out with nice sized ones in just over an hour. I have been 2 more times in the last three days and limited out each time. Jiggs (different colors uses) are ok, but minnows are killing it. I have caught close to 90 keepers in the last week and probably thrown back 25-30. I did not get pics of them, but I got some today with just 10, that is all I could carry at one time to the cleaning station in a small bucket and took a selfie with my first fish in the new boat. Hope this helps. Sorry I also have to show the boat off! :-)

BTW, just looked at the pic and the fish look small, but the smallest I had was 13 inches, so I guess a disclaimer should be made. FISH APPEAR SMALLER IN PICTURE THAN IN REAL LIFE.
