Eagle Mountain 7-16-10

I called Todd to see if he wanted to go fishing, so we met up at 6:30 and decided to hit the channel cat for the morning bite.  It started off a little slow and then really picked up.  We ended up with around 40 caught by 9, so we decided to venture out to a nearby flat and see what the sand bass were doing.  Got there and saw a boat show and a few being caught, so I blind casted out and started getting slammed on my Ol' Ugly.  We moved closer to where I was catching fish and it was on for about an hour.  The fish were not blowing up on top much, but you would just see a few tiny shad fly out of the water for their life and that would be the spot.  Had a great time and it was nice to get out and fish for the fun of it.  We decided to go back and catch another fifteen or so channels before it got really hot and called it a day.  All fish caught on stink bait in 2-4ft of water and sand bass on Ol' Ugly in 8-12ft on the flat and then on the drop off after they stopped schooling on the flat in 20-24ft of water.  Wind SW 5-10, hot and sunny.  Water temp is anywhere from 84-91.
