It’s been a while since I was on my local lake here in the lone star state throwing swimbaits. I went last week when it was sunny and warm and scored zilch on a homebrew rat. Yesterday a major cold front blew through and temperatures dropped about 25 degrees to 49 degrees. NICE! Best of all, it’s good and cloudy. So I grabbed my gear, loaded my kayak and booked it to the water after dumping a couple of gallons of coffee down my word hole. I thought about topwaters and some of my other baits, but figured I best start with my A-number one confidence lure. That being the Mattlures slow sink hardgill of course. Possibly the best swimbaits in the world. The bass approved even after I switched colors just to see what might happen. No monsters today, but it was good to feel the tug at the end of my line again. The fish were all shallow, busting bluegill and my baits. Should be a great winter here in Tejas. Thanks to everybody for sharing your catches and stories! They’re inspiring when I can’t get on the water. Hope you got out and got some this weekend!

I hit my local lake yesterday now that the arctic blasts are done. There’s a kayak tournament happening. Crap. Guys are all over, paddling through some of the best spots. I went and checked out some water that didn’t have an army of weekend warriors messing up the fishing and pulled in a small, but eager bass on a Mattlures Hardgill. No interest in the Bullshooter, but that might have been because I didn’t stick with it long enough. Either way, the bass aren’t quite into prespawn aggression yet. Maybe in another couple of weeks. Here’s to a great 2018 for everyone!
