Ray Roberts 11-22-10

Took James and his father to Ray Roberts this morning.  Last time James went on a trip with me it was an electrifying experience and we had to run for cover.  Luckily, this time we had clear skies and a 10-15mph wind.  The water temp was around 58 today and the sand bass were biting light with many gill slaps.  They didn't want it deadsticked, but also didn't want it moving much.  More of a slow up and down making the slab spiral instead of flutter.  The birds helped a little early, but they quickly gave it up and took a rest.  The bite was consistent, but not on fire this morning.  If I remember correctly, James caught 6 fish snagged in the back.  We decided anyone can hook them in the mouth, but it takes great skill to snag them in the back. 

 James and his father also wanted to catch a few blues for the fun of it.

We had a blast this morning and I look forward to having these two again.
