Eagle Mountain 3-26-11

Fished with repeat customers Marcus and family.  Started out the morning fishing a slope from 7-24ft and the fish were hanging right at 14-16ft most of the morning while were were on that spot.  They wanted a chartreuse and white Ol' Ugly and chrtreuse Flies By Night fly above.  The women and kids on my boat catch more fish and today was another perfect example.  She put a hurt on those fish and the guys on the boat!

This was Joe's first experience slabbing for sand bass and he got the hang of it really quick.\

 We stayed in that area until they had their fill of sand bass and left to hunt a few catfish.  We only managed to cats and a gar.  The wind changed directions from the south to north and as soon as the shallow cat bite started it died for us.  Pulled anchor and decided to catch more sand bass.  Looked at a few spots and marked fish, but not active so we headed to a different area of the lake and found them on a slope from 3-17ft deep with the wind going across it.  Fished here for a few minutes picking up another twenty fish and decided to call it a day.   Had a great time with good people.  Thanks guys see you in May

After I dropped them off and cleaned fish, I went to the last spot we fished to play a little myself picking up about 60 more, but they were mainly squirrely little males.  Love this time of year.
