Eagle Mountain 3-17-11

Took repeat customer Clay out for a catfish and sand bass trip.  We started the day fishing in 3 ft of water and got some action quick and boated two blues missing a few also.  Then the bite just stopped.  Tried another location and gar were biting our floats and taking off.  Got to see one up close, but luckily he opened his jaw and let loose before I had to take him off.  The wind kept getting stronger so we decided to try some sand bass on a wind blown ridge from 8-26ft.  Marked the fish on side image, pulled out into the deeper water, set the I-pilot on anchor mode and tossed our Ol' Ugly slabs with Flies-By-Night flies up on the shallow flat and worked it down the ridge.  The fish seemed to want the white and chartreuse slab and chartreuse fly more than others today.  We caught 100ish fish, keeping around 20 good one's, and left them biting.  It was a good catching trip with great conversation.  Looking forward to the next one Clay.  Thanks
