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!

Another great day at Bullards, with lots of different rigs getting it done. Thankfully, wake boarders are petering out, so was able to stay on the main body all day. Did most of my damage with a drop shot in 25-35 feet of water. The Strike King Magnum was money! However...I've been chasing one of those monster Spots that roam these waters for 3 years now, and I finally got into one with a Wacky Rig Senko in Sexy Shad pattern. Would love to show you a picture...but it broke my line before I could land it...I was so shook up, it took me a good 15 minutes to even make another cast. It had to be in the 7 to 8+ Pound range to fight like it did. Two days later and I'm still replaying what I could have done differently to land her...UGH!!!
