Fishing over near Richardson fish camp throwing up in the pads with grass mixed in or close, pulled up to the pads and was working it over when it pulled back, thought it was a boat wake at first, then pulled again and I set the hook, 5.36lbs. Had another one that was close to the same size get off when it wrapped up in the pads before I could get there, another 2 did the same thing and I caught 2 others before leaving the area.

Wednesday morning tournament out of Lake Front park, went right down past Chisholm and fished along the reeds and pepper grass point of a cut leading back to some houses and docks. Bite was very faint and I missed 5 or 6 times before hooking up with the 5-22 lbs. on a Zoom Trick worm in Gooseberry color. Also got some on the black and blue speed worm in

Major cold front conditions on the Harris Chain with water temps for the day starting at 48 degrees and working up to 52 degrees. I was targeted eelgrass and hydrilla that was growing just off the edge of Kissimmee grass in 3-5' of water using a 1/2 oz Jackhammer and Missile Baits Freedom Flyer. The Freedom Flyer has a tight wobble to it which is perfect for cold water conditions.

Casting into open areas of Lilly pads and allowing worm to sink to bottom or on top of hydraulic. Allowing to set still for 15-20 seconds before shaking or pulling worm very slowly for best results.

This time of year is trap season. There are fish in prespawn places in a number of positions on the lake and a few fish that have already pushed up playing the weather games. Finding the right grass and grass mixes is pivotal to success.

Water temp was warm enough I was looking for a shad spawn and was not able to find anything. Very confusing times on Rodman water is down about 10ft according to lake master so the water temp is swinging quite a bit with the weather. A 10 degree difference in a week. We caught a few on poppers early morning. Shallow diving jerkbait was the only constant bite I had. Had a few followers in the 2-3lb range on the 6” freestyle. To be honest the fish are scattered with water temps fluctuating from high 50’s to low 70’s within a week. Probably could have done better if I stayed in the canal or went deep in the river section where fish can come up and feed or bail the shallows for a front.

Seemed like fish were post spawn since there was a lot of fry in the Kissimmee grass. No bites in the Kissimmee grass but got all my bites from the reed clumps a few yards away. All my fish came from the bigger clumps of pencil reeds fishing with a flipping jig getting it as far back as I could.
