Eagle Mountain 7/7/10

I took a two week vacation and just got back from Oklahoma having a great time visiting family.  Time to go back to work now :)

Fished with first time guest Marlin and his family.  Started the day at 6:30 and enjoyed a cool overcast morning with light southeast/east wind.  I wanted the kids to get some fish early to wake them up, so we got to HP rigs out and started catching.  Around 8:15 we decided to check out the slab bite where I marked some good fish on a ridge.  It wasn't long and fish on!  Shortly after the slab bite took off baby fry threadfin started soaring through the air for their lives.  We caught fish on small plastics, slabs/flies, and quasimodo.  They stayed up boiling the water for about 30 minutes and then we had to return to electronics to stay on them.  I had a great time watching the two kids battle it out for the most fish caught.  We ended the day with a swim and lunch while I cleaned the fish.  Fish caught in 9-23 ft of water.  They are still chasing small bait so downsizing is a must.  We tried throwing a 3.5" sassy and they would hit but not take, but they would take a 2" fluke.  Ended up cleaning 64 and released quite of few unders.  Water temp 84-86.5
