In my never-ending quest for a Big Spotty at Bullards, I forced myself offshore using techniques I'm not super confident in. But this day, I made some progress. No monsters, but had some fun pulling in fish at 30-40 feet using a shakey head, loaded up with a Strike King bullworm. When I got that first hit, I was so pumped!!! I spent the day using my mapping to fish extended points. It took some patience for my shakeyhead to get down to the bottom. But once it was there, I hopped and popped it, and when those spotties hit it, what a blast getting them up and into the boat! Ya just have to give it a try!!!

Super windy today. I was trying everything with not much success. It was nearly 20 degrees colder than the day before...and the wind. It was a grind....right up until the wind blew me over to where I thought I was just too close to the shoreline...but when I looked a little closer, there was a nice looking submerged shelf with a lot of shade underneath. So before moving away, I picked up my Texas Rig rod, already set up with the trusty Zoom Plum Trick Worm and I flipped right to the top of the shelf. As soon as that worm dropped into the shade, a spotty ripped out of nowhere and gobbled it up. I spent the next hour and a half haulin' them in, but only if I got that flip right up on the edge. Even 6 inches away and they would ignore it. But right on the edge and they hit it every time. Turned a tough day into a very memorable one. I love this lake!
