Tawakoni NTTC Tournament 2-26-11

Fished the NTTC Tournament with Mickey.  We started out fishing a series of holes because we marked some great fish, but only caught one keeper.  Next we tried a wind blown point with a creek near by and picked up a few more keepers and a 34 pounder.  That bite died so we tried some shallow water and had one slam down and run into a stump pulling the hook out and another dink.  The wind really started picking up from the south causing us to go back in a creek and try more shallow, nada.  Tried the creek on the way out in a little deeper water and caught a couple more fish, but not the big one's we needed. 

Ray Roberts 2-12-11

Took first time guests Marcus, his wife, and Aaron to Ray Roberts on a blue cat trip. Air Temp was 23 at the ramp and got up to 68 when leaving. Water temp was 39.4 and then got up to 42.8. We started out fishing the drop off of a point from 48-57ft and caught a couple quick fish, but then the bite stopped so we moved on. Next stop was a little deeper on a ledge from 45-62ft and we caught a couple at that spot. Graphed lots of bait and fish in other areas, but the fish were not in feeding mode so off we went in search of deeper water. First area to graph and the bait was there, broken up, and the fish were with them. Anchored up and that was the ticket in 71-82ft of water. There was little to no wind today until the last 15 minutes of fishing...simply a beautiful day on the water, good times, and 3 new personal bests. The fish preferred smaller threadfin heads today over gizzards.
